RF-MEMS packaging technique using benzocyclobutene (BCB)
نویسندگان
چکیده
RF-MEMS switches contain movable fragile parts. A specific packaging approach is required for reasons of protection during fabrication as well as during operation. We present in this paper a 0-level packaging process using a photopatternable polymer BenzoCycloButene and its performances measured up to 110 GHz.
