Abstract

The paper presents the design, modelling and manufacturing of a new type of MMIC, a nonlinear transmission line monolithically integrated in a CPW based on GaAs. This device is the key element of the quasi-optical THz instrumentation that will be further developed. A low cost four mask technological process and manufacturing is presented
