  • Abstract
    This paper propose the utilization of a photolithographic process to elevate the metal lines position that relative to the wafer plane, in order to take advantage from the signal propagation practically on-the-air, gained an almost ideal TEM mode of propagation in CPW structure. S-parameter and coupling degree of CPW with porous Si (PS), SOI and high resistivity silicon (HRS), SOI substrates are compared.
