A symmetric varactor structure may include a first varactor component. The first varactor component may include a gate operating as a second plate, a gate oxide layer operating as a dielectric layer and a body operating as a first plate of an area modulating capacitor. In addition, doped regions may surround the body of the first varactor component. The first varactor component may be supported on a backside by an isolation layer. The symmetric varactor structure may also include a second varactor component electrically coupled to the backside of the first varactor component through a backside conductive layer.

Systems and methods relate to a semiconductor package comprising a first substrate or a 2D passive-on-glass (POG) structure with a passive component and a first set of one or more package pads formed on a face of a glass substrate. The semiconductor package also includes a second or laminate substrate with a second set of one or more package pads formed on a face of the second or laminate substrate. Solder balls are dropped, configured to contact the first set of one or more package pads with the second set of one or more package pads, wherein the first substrate or the 2D POG structure is placed face-up on the face of the second or laminate substrate. A printed circuit board (PCB) can be coupled to a bottom side of the second or laminate substrate.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for testing near field magnetic fields of electronic devices. The method comprises measuring a magnetic field using a loop antenna that is oriented in a first direction. The loop antenna is swept through a desired range of azimuth angles while measuring the magnetic field. Once the first direction testing is completed, the loop antenna is changed to a second orientation direction. The magnetic field is then measured in the second orientation direction and is swept through a desired range of orientation angles in the second direction. The apparatus provides a loop antenna connected to a coaxial probe, with the coaxial cable serving as the center conductor, and two outer conductors. An axle is mounted to the loop antenna and connected to a step motor. A servo motor is also provided for moving the arm assembly.
