Abstract

Integrated passive circuits consisting of precision thin film capacitors, resistors, and inductors optimized for RF applications have been successfully manufactured and characterized over the frequency range 50 MHz to 5 GHz. In the process of doing so, advances were made in a number of areas, including selection of substrate material for RF performance, thin film processing, simulation, and measurement techniques
