Abstract: | Coplanar waveguide (CPW) and thin film microstrip (TFMS) lines integrating porous ultra low-k as inter-metal dielectric layers (k = 2.5) and copper as metal, are for the first time experimentally measured up to 110 GHz and under different temperature conditions, up to 200 °C. The extracted attenuation and propagation coefficients of those transmission lines are compared to simulations performed with MAGWEL software, a frequency domain 3-D Maxwell solver. Based on the characterization results some guidelines related to interconnect design are presented for future applications. |
