Abstract:
A nano-resonating structure constructed and adapted to include additional ultra-small structures (314) that can be formed with reflective surfaces. By positioning such ultra-small structures (314) adjacent ultra-small resonant structures (306) the light or other EMR being produced by the ultra-small resona structures (306) when excited can be reflected in multiple directions (322). This permits the light or EMR out put to be viewed and used in multiple directions.

Abstract:
A system in a package (SIP) or multi-chip module (200, 300, 400) (MCM) uses an electron beam (235, 335, 435) for electrically coupling between microcircuits (230, 330, 430) and (232, 332, 432). In one embodiment, the micro-circuits (230, 430) and (232, 432) can be configured in a side-by-side configuration. In another embodiment, the micro-circuits (330) and (332) can be configured in a chip-on-chip configuration. In yet another embodiment, the electron beam (435) can include a plurality of electron beams (436) and appear as ribbon shaped between two micro-circuits (430, 432). Further, the fabrication to form the electron source (234, 334, 434) and the deflector (261, 356, 461) can be at the final metallization step of the process.
Abstract:
A display of wavelength elements can be produced from resonant structures that emit light (arid other electromagnetic radiation having a dominant frequency higher/than that of microwave) when exposed to a beam of charged particles, such as electrons from an electron beam. An exemplary display with three wavelengths per pixel utilizes three resonant structures per pixel. The spacings and lengths of the fingers of the resonant structures control the light emitted from the wavelength elements. Alternatively, multiple resonant structures per wavelength can be used as well.
