    Abstract: Multiple FBARs may be manufactured on a single wafer and later diced. Ideally, all devices formed in a wafer would have the same resonance frequency. However, due to manufacturing variances, the frequency response of the FBAR devices may vary slightly across the wafer. An RF map may be created to determine zones (50, 52) over the wafer where FBARs in that zone all vary from a target frequency by a similar degree. A tuning layer (40) may be deposited over the wafer. Lithographically patterned features to the tuning layer based on the zones identified by the RF map may be used to correct the FBARs to a target resonance frequency with the FBARs still intact on the wafer.

    Abstract: A film bulk acoustic resonator filter (10) may be formed with a plurality of interconnected series and shunt film bulk acoustic resonators (38) formed on the same membrane (35). Each of the film bulk acoustic resonators (38) may be formed from a common lower conductive layer which is defined to form the bottom electrode (32) of each film bulk acoustic resonator (38). A common top conductive layer may be defined to form each top electrode (36) of each film bulk acoustic resonator (38). A common piezoelectric film layer (34), that may or may not be patterned, forms a continuous or discontinuous film.

    Abstract: The methods and apparatus disclosed herein concern nucleic acid sequencing by enhanced Raman spectroscopy. In certain embodiments of the invention, nucleotides are covalently attached to Raman labels before incorporation into a nucleic acid. In other embodiments, unlabeled nucleic acids are used. Exonuclease treatment of the nucleic acid results in the release of labeled or unlabeled nucleotides that are detected by Raman spectroscopy. In alternative embodiments of the invention, nucleotides released from a nucleic acid by exonuclease treatment are covalently cross-linked to nanoparticles and detected by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), surface enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) and/or coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS). Other embodiments of the invention concern apparatus for nucleic acid sequencing.

    Abstract: A MEMS device may be formed in a hermetic cavity by sealing a pair of semiconductor structures to one another, enclosing the MEMS device. The two structures may be coupled using surface mount techniques as one example, so that the temperatures utilized may be compatible with many MEMS applications. Electrical interconnection layers in one or the other of these structures may be utilized to allow electrical interconnections from the exterior world to the MEMS components within the cavity.

    Abstract: The methods, compositions and apparatus disclosed herein are of use for nucleic acid sequence determination. The methods involve isolation of one or more nucleic acid template molecules and polymerization of a nascent complementary strand of nucleic acid, using a DNA or RNA polymerase or similar synthetic reagent. As the nascent strand is extended one nucleotide at a time, the disappearance of nucleotide precursors from solution is monitored by Raman spectroscopy or FRET. The nucleic acid sequence of the nascent strand, and the complementary sequence of the template strand, may be determined by tracking the order of incorporation of nucleotide precursors during the polymerization reaction. Certain embodiments concern apparatus comprising a reaction chamber and detection unit, of use in practicing the claimed methods. The methods, compositions and apparatus are of use in sequencing very long nucleic acid templates in a single sequencing reaction.
