This paper describes a method for patterning the graphene layer and gold electrodes on a ceramic substrate using a Nd:YAG nanosecond fiber laser. The technique enables the processing of both layers and trimming of the sensor parameters. The main aim was to develop a technique for the effective and efficient shaping of both the sensory layer and the metallic electrodes. The laser shaping method is characterized by high speed and very good shape mapping, regardless of the complexity of the processing. Importantly, the technique enables the simultaneous shaping of both the graphene layer and Au electrodes in a direct process that does not require a complex and expensive masking process, and without damaging the ceramic substrate. Our results confirmed the effectiveness of the developed laser technology for shaping a graphene layer and Au electrodes. The ceramic substrate can be used in the construction of various types of sensors operating in a wide temperature range, especially the cryogenic range.

Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is a process that enables high-speed deposition with a sub-millimeter thickness using laser technology. Thus far, defect studies on additive manufacturing, including DED, have focused mostly on preventing pores and crack defects that reduce fatigue strength. On the other hand, evaporation products, fumes and spatters, generated by the high energy have often been neglected despite being some of the main causes of porosity and defects. In high-quality metal deposition, the problems caused by evaporation products are difficult to solve, but they have not yet caught the attention of metallurgists and physicists. This review examines the effect of the laser, material, and process parameters on the evaporation products to help obtain a high-quality metal film layer in thin-DED.

For sensor and communication system applications, monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) feature performance, functionality, reliability, and competitive price. In this paper, the potential of PHEMT ICs for communication and sensor applications up to 100 GHz is discussed. Specifically, I will address the application of coplanar waveguide technology for rf ICs, millimeter-wave multifunctional ICs and power amplifiers, as well as mixed-signal ICs and OEICs. A 77-GHz transceiver MMIC designed for automotive collision avoidance radar is presented as an example of a very compact, multifunctional mm-wave chip. A chip set for active and passive imaging at 94 GHz includes low noise and high gain amplifiers, low phase noise oscillators, and phase shifters. An FMCW module is conceived for material characterization. A family of coplanar power amplifier MMICs for wireless communication in the range of 20 to 60 GHz with output powers up to 1 W is presented. Finally, integrated circuits for high-speed data transmission at 40 Gbit/s will be discussed.

AbstractThis paper introduces the Polylmide-Ceramic substrate for NEC SX Supercomputers. In case of high performance system such as supercomputers and top end machines in general purpose computer, sophisticated packaging technologies are essential to achieve fastest operations as well as to use highestspeed, highly integrated LSIs.Wiring substrate which mounts and interconnects LSIs is the key to back up LSI's higher logical-operations.The high speed interconnection wirings and high density LSI mounting are requested for substrate.The Polyimide-Ceramic substrate had been developed to meet these demands and have many features of high density thin film wiring, high power supply, high thermal conductivity and huge number of I/Os, in addition to high speed wiring.25μm wide 75μm center-to-center spacing, two signal layers, 6ns/m signal transmissions, 2.5W/cm2 high power density, 2177 I/Os on a 100mm square substrate have been achieved by using this super substrate technology.The packaging hierarchy, the first level packaging of TAB LSI, the second level of multi-chip packaging by using Polyimide-Ceramic substrate and liquid cooling module, and the third level of board assemblies are introduced.
