Abstract: Apparatuses including spark gap structures for electrical overstress (EOS) monitoring or protection, and associated methods, are disclosed. In an aspect, a spark gap array includes a sheet resistor and an array of arcing electrode pairs formed over a substrate. The array of arcing electrode pairs includes first arcing electrodes formed on the sheet resistor and a second arcing electrode arranged as a sheet formed over the first arcing electrodes and separated from the first arcing electrodes by an arcing gap. The first arcing electrodes and second arcing electrode are electrically connected to first and second voltage nodes, respectively, and the arcing electrode pairs are configured to generate arc discharges in response to an EOS voltage signal received between the first and second voltage nodes.

Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to integrated circuit devices with wear out monitoring capability. An integrated circuit device includes a wear-out monitor device configured to record an indication of wear-out of a core circuit separated from the wear-out monitor device, wherein the indication is associated with localized diffusion of a diffusant within the wear-out monitor device in response to a wear-out stress that causes the wear-out of the core circuit.

Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to electrical overstress protection devices, and more particularly to electrical overstress monitoring devices for detecting electrical overstress events in semiconductor devices. In one aspect, an electrical overstress monitor and/or protection device includes a two different conductive structures configured to electrically arc in response to an EOS event and a sensing circuit configured to detect a change in a physical property of the two conductive structures caused by the EOS event. The two conductive structures have facing surfaces that have different shapes;

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to particles that can move in response to a magnetic field. A system can include a container, particles within the container, and a magnetic structure integrated with the container. The magnetic structure can magnetically interact with both an external magnetic field and the particles. Related methods are disclosed including magnetic field detection methods based on detection of particles within a container.

CPC classification number: G01N27/301
Abstract: A reference electrode of an electrochemical sensor includes a substrate having a well, a channel, and a conductive element. The well extends from a first surface of a substrate towards a second surface of the substrate. The channel is within the substrate. A longitudinal axis of the channel may be substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the well. The channel has a first end connected to the well and a second end that is in contact with the conductive element. The channel and the wells form a flow path of a conductive medium. The flow path may be coupled to a manipulating element such as an agitating element or heating element that promotes flow of the membrane.

Abstract: A reference electrode of an electrochemical sensor includes a substrate having well, a channel, and a conductive element therein. The well extends from a first surface of a substrate towards a second surface of the substrate. The channel is within the substrate. A longitudinal axis of the channel may be substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the well. The channel has a first end connected to the well and the conductive element is exposed to a second of the channel. The channel and the wells form a flow path of a conductive medium. A valve is coupled to the flow path and configured to control a flow of the conductive medium to the electrically conductive element through the flow path.
