Abstract:
The process for manufacturing a through insulated interconnection is performed by forming, in a body (1) of semiconductor material, a trench (2) extending from the front (7) of the body (1) for a thickness portion thereof; filling the trench with dielectric material (6); thinning the body starting from the rear (5) until the trench (2), so as to form an insulated region (3) surrounded by dielectric material; and forming a conductive region (30b) extending inside said insulated region (3) between the front and the rear of the body and having a higher conductivity than the first body (1). The conductive region (8, 25, 28, 30b) includes a heavily doped semiconductor region (30b), made prior to filling of the trench.
Abstract:
A photovoltaic device comprising a plurality of photovoltaic cells of different spectral sensitivity, disposed on respective areas of inner surfaces of a hermetically sealed box-like body provided with a transparent pupil with antireflection treatment of its surface, is proposed. Through the pupil, a concentrated beam of collected radiation enters the device and a plurality of dichroic filters arranged in cascade on the optical axis of the transparent input pupil split the concentrated beam in distinct beams of different spectrum. As many mirrors, each having multiple reflecting surfaces, intercept respective beams of spectral subdivision, and the multiple reflecting surfaces redirect the radiation in form of a plurality of reflected beams each directed to illuminate the active area of a photovoltaic cells of a respective array.
Abstract:
The microreactor (22) is formed by a sandwich including a first body (1), an intermediate sealing layer (20) and a second body (15). A buried channel (3) extends in the first body (1) and communicates with the surface (12) of the first body (1) through a first and a second apertures (14a, 14b). A first and a second reservoirs (16a, 16b) are formed in the second body (15) and are at least partially aligned with the first and second apertures (14a, 14b). The sealing layer (20) separates the first aperture (14a) from the first reservoir (16a) and the second aperture (14b) from the second reservoir (16b), thereby avoiding contamination of liquids contained in the buried channel from the outside and from any adjacent buried channels (3).
Abstract:
A micro-electro-mechanical device (20) formed by a body (4) of semiconductor material having a thickness and defining a mobile part (23, 24, 31) and a fixed part (3, 25, 30). The mobile part is formed by a mobile platform (23), supporting arms (31) extending from the mobile platform to the fixed part (3, 25, 30), and by mobile electrodes (24) fixed to the mobile platform. The fixed part has fixed electrodes (25) facing the mobile electrodes (24), a first biasing region (3) fixed to the fixed electrodes, a second biasing region (30) fixed to the supporting arms (31), and an insulation region (6) of insulating material extending through the entire thickness of the body (4). The insulation region (6) insulates electrically at least one between the first and the second biasing regions (3, 30) from the rest of the fixed part.
