Microfabrication of 100 GHz Test Structures Corning Glass Cover Slips: $0.12 each New lithographic mask was designed in order to have the frequency response shifted to the band around 100 GHz. εglass (@100 GHz)= 6.5 Microscope cover slides were chosen as substrate due to low cost and appropriate geometry. Slide thickness is around 250 μm, slide area is 22 mm x 22 mm.
Exact Geometry of Features on the 100 GHz Mask • The following dimensions were calculated using: • Target frequency: 100 GHz. • Previous design (12 GHz) dimensions. • Substrate relative permittivity (6.5) at target frequency.
Array area: 15 mm x 15 mm Array: 33 x 33 Alignment - 1: Array to Glass (during Fabrication) Alignment - 2: Glass to Glass (Stacking) (during Measurement)
Fabricated Structures • Fabrication at Microelectronics Facility of FORTH, Heraklion. • With Dr. George Konstantinidis. • Method: Image Reversal Lithography(AZ5214) / E-Gun Metal Deposition (5000Å Ag) / Lift-Off
