A Highly Linear Temperature Sensor Operating up to 600°C in a 4H-SiC CMOS Technology

In this work, a highly linear temperature sensor based on a silicon carbide (SiC) p-n diode is presented. Under a constant current biasing, the diode has an excellent linear response to the temperature (from room temperature to 600°C). The best linearity (coefficient of determination ${R}^{{2}}$ = 99.98%) is achieved when the current density...

Copper Nanoparticle Sintering Enabled Hermetic Packaging With Fine Sealing Ring for MEMS Application

Driving by the increased demand for hermetic packaging in the more than Moore (MtM) roadmap, a Cu nanoparticle sintering-enabled hermetic sealing solution was developed with a small-size sealing ring. The developed technology simplifies microfabrication and requires less surface roughness using a sinterable Cu nanoparticle paste. A 50μm size...
