This paper presents the design and development of novel type microcontacts in monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) chip-carriers to printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. Several new concepts of microcontacts for packaging solutions of microwave and millimeter-wave MMIC are depicted. Simulation and vector network analyzer (VNA) measurement results for these microcontact transitions are discussed. The results show that the electrical parameters are highly dependent on the transition dimensions and substrate features. These contacts are based on male stud (bump) and female (ring) concept. When mating each other, there are clips effect and self-alignment features. Special attention is paid to the shape of the microcontacts in order to facilitate assembly and strengthen the connection. Equivalent electrical circuit is proposed for PSPICE simulation of the dc contact resistance. Finally, the article discusses the technological implementation of the proposed new microcontact stud-ring through low-cost ultraviolet electroplating, lithography, and molding (UV-LIGA) process and the regime influence on the shape, geometry, and mating capabilities. Results from mechanical pull and adhesion tests are also discussed. 相似文献

A new method of moment-based formulation for the solution of the telegraphist's equations in nonuniform transmission lines is presented. Entire domain basis functions that build in a frequency variation are used to cover wider frequency and physical dimension ranges. The results obtained using the proposed formulation are validated by comparison to those obtained by a CAD package and to measured data. Different nonuniform lines in microstrip and coplanar technologies on monolithic microwave/millimeter wave integrated circuit (MMIC) and miniaturized hybrid microwave integrated circuit (MHMIC) substrates are investigated with an application to the design a matched taper transition in a MMIC coplanar line 相似文献

The calculation of the contact resistance between two rough electrodes is a difficult task, since the contact interface comprises many spots corresponding to more or less conducting paths for the electrons. The present paper starts with an analytical formula derived by J.A. Greenwood (1966) to find the electrical resistance of a cluster of perfect circular microcontacts. It is first shown that Greenwood's formula can be used to derive known and new formulas for the constriction resistance of single spots of various shapes. Then we consider the case where the microcontacts are not perfect, and characterize each microcontact by a film resistance. To generalize Greenwood's formula, we use an intermediate expression derived by this author, and substitute for the constriction resistance term of each spot, a term comprising the constriction resistance and the film resistance. We then test the formulas proposed. In all situations the electrical contact area is modeled by means of a set of square spots. At first, we consider experimental results concerning long rectangular spots. Then, we consider numerical results concerning square ring-shaped spots. And lastly, we consider the ease where two large electrodes communicate through two concentric thin flat rings of variable conductivity. The contact resistance is then calculated using Greenwood's generalized formula and by means of the finite-element method. All tests are passed satisfactorily 相似文献

In this paper, an improved method of determining the primary-to-secondary coupling capacitance for planar spiral transformers (PST's) is presented, which enhances previous work. A more general monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) compatible lumped element multisection model is also presented based on symmetric-width uniformly coupled transmission lines. These techniques were developed to design a 90° hybrid as a MMIC with a center frequency of 2.5 GHz. The design was frequency scaled to 0.5 GHz and fabricated in the microwave integrated circuit (MIC) for verification. Producibility is enhanced and coupling is effectively increased with the novel use of series capacitors which cancel some of the self-inductance of the transformers. Measured results are presented for both a quadrature hybrid and the individual PST used in the quadrature hybrid. The measured results show excellent agreement with the computer models 相似文献

Ion-implanted GaAs photoconductive (PC) switches have been used as an optical-microwave frequency mixer and electrical waveform samplers in a real-time sampling system. This high fidelity system has a bandwidth of 100-GHz, time resolution of 4-ps and a measurement sensitivity of 5-μV/√(Hz). Because of this high sensitivity capability, the magnitude of the testing signal can be maintained sufficiently small to allow network analysis of a device or circuit in the linear mode without signal distortion. In this paper, a linear time-domain network analysis of a broadband monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier has been demonstrated in real-time by the optoelectronic technique. A measurement time of less than 40 μs is used to acquire waveform data. The dynamic range of the system can be further improved to 40 dB by reducing the repetition rate of the step recovery diode. Since the PC switches are fabricated with processes compatible to MMIC manufacturing, this real-time system is well-suited for on-wafer MMIC characterization 相似文献

A novel three-dimensional (3-D) masterslice monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) is presented that significantly reduces turnaround time and cost for multifunction MMIC production. This MMIC incorporates an artificial ground metal for effective selection of master array elements on the wafer surface, resulting in various MMIC implementations on a master-arrayed footprint in association with thin polyimide and metal layers over it. Additionally, the 3-D miniature circuit components of less than 0.4 mm2 in size provide a very high integration level. To clearly show the advantages, a 20-GHz-band receiver MMIC was implemented on a master array with 6×3 array units including a total of 36 MESFETs in a 1.78×1.78 mm area. Details of the miniature circuit components and the design, closely related to the fabrication process, are also presented. The receiver MMIC exhibited a 19-dB conversion gain with an associated 6.5-dB noise figure from 17 to 24 GHz and an integration level four times higher than conventional planar MMICs. This technology promises about a 90% cost reduction for MMIC because it can be similarly applied to large-scale Si wafers with the aid of an artificial ground 相似文献

The frequency-dependent characteristics of the microstrip discontinuities have previously been analyzed using full-wave approaches. The time-domain finite-difference (TD-FD) method presented here is an independent approach and is relatively new in its application for obtaining the frequency-domain results for microwave components. The validity of the TD-FD method in modeling circuit components for MMIC CAD applications is established 相似文献

The nature of the charge, current, and field patterns is investigated in and about transmission-line conductors operating in a frequency range where one or more of the cross-sectional dimensions of the conductors is on the order of a skin depth. Questions are addressed concerning whether quasi-TEM (transverse electromagnetic) approximations can be used. Examples which simulate the relatively lossy, longer on-chip interconnects in high-speed digital circuits are considered. For comparison, approximations to monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) line examples, which usually have larger cross-sectional dimension and hence are less lossy, are also examined 相似文献

Modified broadside-coupled microstrip lines, suitable for microwave and millimeter-wave integrated and monolithic integrated circuit (MIC and MMIC) applications requiring wide bandwidths and tight couplings, are presented. Their analysis, based on the quasi-static spectral domain technique, is described. Using these broadside structures, a new class of broadside-coupled band-pass filters has been developed at X-band (8-12 GHz) with about 1-dB insertion loss. Fair agreement between the measured and calculated results has been observed even though a major approximation is used 相似文献
