Titled: Decreased Opioid Utilization with Lidocaine Topical System 1.8% Compared to Lidocaine 5% Patch: A Retrospective Claims Analysis (First author: Srinivas Nalamachu, M.D.).

Key Points: 
  • Titled: Decreased Opioid Utilization with Lidocaine Topical System 1.8% Compared to Lidocaine 5% Patch: A Retrospective Claims Analysis (First author: Srinivas Nalamachu, M.D.).
  • In addition, patients treated with ZTlido® had a more significant reduction in opioid dose relative to a generic lidocaine 5% patch.
  • Regardless of the type of neuropathic pain, ZTlido® was associated with a greater opioid-sparing effect than a generic lidocaine 5% patch.
  • As a result, improved adhesion for ZTlido® is likely contributing to more optimal pain management and enable reduction/discontinuation of opioid dose.

Rapid out-diffusion of boron from the SOI layer into BOX (buried oxide) layer has been observed for regular RF-SOI substrates.

Key Points: 
  • Rapid out-diffusion of boron from the SOI layer into BOX (buried oxide) layer has been observed for regular RF-SOI substrates.
  • The new SSROI substrate reduces body resistance for power handling improvement of RF switch devices, in addition to reducing the surface channel doping and thus impurity scattering for cutoff frequency improvement of LNA (low noise amplifier) devices.
  • The benefits of SSROI substrate will be demonstrated via >20% improvement in Rdson at the same DC-breakdown from experimental data as well as extension of SOI thickness and gate length scaling from 3D-TCAD simulation data for RF switch devices and via >50% gm (trans-conductance) improvement from TCAD simulation data for LNA devices.
  • Atomera’s RF-optimized Mears Silicon Technology (MST) is epitaxially deposited onto ultra-thin RF-SOI wafers, providing improvements in critical RF switch characteristics for 5G Advanced and 6G applications.
