Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

One embodiment provides an integrated circuit including a first non-planar structure and a waveguide configured to provide electromagnetic waves to the first non-planar structure. The first non-planar structure provides a first signal in response to at least some of the electromagnetic waves.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An integrated circuit comprising: a substrate; an insulation layer positioned over the substrate; a structure including a fin that extends substantially perpendicular to the insulation layer; a waveguide that extends over the insulation layer to the fin, and extends over the fin, where the wave guide provides electromagnetic waves to the structure, and wherein the structure provides a signal in response to at least some of the electromagnetic waves.…
