An electromagnetic emission source identification apparatus is provided, the identification apparatus comprising a sensor device, a data transmitter, and a computer device. The sensor device is configured to sense an electromagnetic emission from a source, wherein the electromagnetic emission is sensed by the sensor device as corresponding sensed emission data. The data transmitter is in communication with the sensor device and is configured to transmit the sensed emission data from the sensor device. The computer device is configured to be in communication with the data transmitter. The computer device is further configured to process digital emission data, the digital emission data corresponding to the sensed emission data, so as to determine an identification indicator, an operational characteristic indicator, and/or an accessory characteristic indicator corresponding to the source. The processed digital emission data for the source is then compared to the corresponding identification indicator, operational characteristic indicator, and/or accessory characteristic indicator of each of a plurality known sources in a database operably engaged with the computer device so as to determine a best-match known source corresponding to the source. Associated methods as well as an associated computer device and computer software program product are also provided.

Three dimensional electronic and optical coupling devices that are capable of providing high speed coupling over a large frequency range while limiting the amount of space consumption in the communications network. An optical or electrical coupling device comprises a first substrate and a second substrate adjacent to the first substrate having one or more optical waveguides or microstrips formed thereon. The substrates will have disposed thereon conductive microstrips and/or dielectric elements. The one or more optical waveguides or microstrips formed on the first substrate correspond to at least one optical waveguides or microstrips formed on the second substrate so as to facilitate optical coupling between the corresponding waveguides. Precise spacing between the substrates and precise spacing between the optical waveguides or microstrips facilitate the requisite optical/RF coupling.

A Maximum Areal Density Recessed Oxide Isolation (MADROX) process for forming semiconductor devices, in which forms an insulating layer is formed on a monocrystalline silicon substrate and a patterned polycrystalline silicon-containing layer is formed on the insulating layer. The substrate is then subjected to a low temperature plasma assisted oxidation to form recessed oxide isolation areas in the exposed regions of the substrate, with minimal encroachment under the patterned polycrystalline silicon-containing layer. The patterned polycrystalline silicon-containing layer acts as a mask, without itself being oxidized. Low temperature recessed oxide isolation regions may thereby be formed, without "bird's beak" formation. Maximum Areal Density Bipolar and Field Effect Transistor (MADFET) devices may be formed, using the patterned polycrystalline silicon-containing layer as a device contact if desired.
