Abstract

This article reviews recent developments in Si micromachining, as it applies to the design of millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave circuits. Advances in semiconductor-processing techniques have made it possible to create monolithic geometries which are not bound to the surface of the wafer. These use a third dimension, to provide shapes and exhibit electrical functions, which are not possible through standard microstrip or coplanar-waveguide technologies. A variety of recently developed circuits are presented herein, which demonstrate the numerous capabilities micromachining offers to the circuit and antenna designer. 1045-9243/93/$03.00.
