We here report on the optimization, fabrication and experimental characterization of a
stripline-based microfluidic NMR probe, realized in a silicon substrate. The stripline …

This paper reviews special RF/microwave silicon device implementations in a process that
allows two-sided contacting of the devices: the back-wafer contacted Silicon-On-Glass …

Layout-optimized inductors with gradually varying width and spaced (tapered) spirals are
well known for their higher quality factor () characteristics. For the first time, the significance …

The increasing need for miniaturization, reliability, and cost efficiency in modern
telecommunications has boosted the idea of system-on-chip integration, incorporating the …

To reduce the electrothermal instabilities in silicon-on-glass high-frequency bipolar devices,
the integration of thin-film aluminum nitride as a heatspreader is studied. The AlN is …

With the increasing demand for system integration to cater to continuously increasing
number of I/Os as well as higher operating frequencies, reconfigured wafer-level packaging …

This paper presents microwave capacitive RF-MEMS switches based on a novel simplified
fabrication process. The devices are fabricated on a silicon substrate using only one …

A V-band wide-beamwidth left-handed circularly polarized wire-bond antenna is presented
in this paper. The proposed design, which is implemented by using integrated passive …

Monolithic integrated antennas have the potential to provide new functionality to wireless
systems on chip like higher integrability, fast and easy-to-implement chip-to-chip …

Passive devices and spiral inductors in particular suffer severely from losses in the silicon
substrate underneath. This major component in limiting the quality factor of spiral inductors …
