    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that perform capacitance-based pressure sensing using pressure vessel(s). A pressure vessel is an object that has a cross section that defines a void. The void has a shape that is configured to change based on a change of pressure difference between a cavity pressure in a cavity in which at least a portion of the pressure vessel is suspended and a vessel pressure in the pressure vessel. The pressure vessel may be formed in the shape of an enclosed loop (e.g., along a path that is perpendicular to the cross section), resulting in a looped pressure vessel. For instance, an end of the pressure vessel may be connected to another end of the pressure vessel to form the enclosed loop.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that perform pressure sensing using pressure sensor(s) that include deformable pressure vessel(s). A pressure vessel is an object that has a cross section that defines a void. A deformable pressure vessel is a pressure vessel that has at least one curved portion that is configured to structurally deform (e.g., bend, shear, elongate, etc.) based on a pressure difference between a cavity pressure in a cavity in which at least a portion of the pressure vessel is suspended and a vessel pressure in the pressure vessel.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming an interconnect in a substrate having a first surface and a second surface. The method includes forming an insulating structure abutting the first surface and defining a closed loop around a via in the substrate and forming an insulating region abutting the second surface such that the insulating region contacts the insulating structure and separates the via from a bulk region of the substrate. Forming the insulating structure includes etching the substrate beginning from the first surface to form a trench, filling the trench to form a seam portion, and converting a first portion of the substrate to a first solid portion to form the closed loop.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer program products for electronic systems with through-substrate interconnects and mems device. An interconnect formed in a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, the interconnect includes: a bulk region; a via extending from the first surface to the second surface; an insulating structure extending through the first surface into the substrate and defining a closed loop around the via, wherein the insulating structure comprises a seam portion separated by at least one solid portion; and an insulating region extending from the insulating structure toward the second surface, the insulating region separating the via from the bulk region, wherein the insulating structure and insulating region collectively provide electrical isolation between the via and the bulk region.

    Abstract: A calibration unit, system, and method for calibrating a device under test are provided. The calibration unit, system, and method use a single axis rotational unit to calibrate devices under test on a test head. The single axis rotation unit is configured to extend at an angle from a known axis. The test head can be designed in the shape of a frustum with multiple sides. The calibration unit, system, and method can use combinations of gravitational excitation, Helmholtz coil excitation, and rotational rate excitation for calibrating the device under test. The calibration unit, system, and method can calibrate a 3 degree for freedom or higher MEMS devices.
