  • Abstract
    Finite Ground Coplanar (FGC) waveguide transmission lines on CMOS grade silicon wafer (¿<0.01 ohm-cm) with a thick embedded silicon oxide layer have been developed using micromachining techniques. Lines with different lengths were designed, fabricated and measured. Measured attenuation and s-parameters are presented in the paper. Results show that the attenuation loss of the fabricated FGC lines is as low as 3.2 dB/cm at 40 GHz.
