    Abstract: A solid-state device chip including diodes (generating a higher or lower frequency output through frequency multiplication or mixing of the input frequency) and a novel on-chip diplexing design that allows combination of two or more multiplier or mixer structures operating at different frequency bands within the 50-5000 GHz range within a same chip and/or waveguide. The on-chip diplexing design consists of a single-substrate multiplier chip with two or more multiplying structures each one containing 2 or more Schottky diodes. The diodes in each structure are tuned to one portion of the target frequency band, resulting in the two or more structures working together as a whole as a large broadband multiplier or mixer. Thus, an increase in bandwidth from 10-15% (current state-of-the-art) to at least 40% is achieved. Depending on the target frequencies, each subset of diodes within the chip can be designed to work either as a doubler or a tripler.

    Abstract: A silicon alignment pin is used to align successive layers of components made in semiconductor chips and/or metallic components to make easier the assembly of devices having a layered structure. The pin is made as a compressible structure which can be squeezed to reduce its outer diameter, have one end fit into a corresponding alignment pocket or cavity defined in a layer of material to be assembled into a layered structure, and then allowed to expand to produce an interference fit with the cavity. The other end can then be inserted into a corresponding cavity defined in a surface of a second layer of material that mates with the first layer. The two layers are in registry when the pin is mated to both. Multiple layers can be assembled to create a multilayer structure. Examples of such devices are presented.
