MICROMACHINING

The bad insulation properties of silicon can be circumvented by designing microwave circuits on membranes micromachined on bulk silicon. Passive millimeter wave circuits have already been successfully designed and tested. Active circuit design is now in progress.

 

Figure : a 35 GHz DRO feedback oscillator. The feedback loop is made through a DRO inserted between two micromachined silicon coplanar waveguide lines.
