Abstract

In this paper, modified silicon micromachining process is proposed for designing low loss antennas in millimeter wave band. Low loss property is important for improving radiation efficiency, especially in millimeter wave applications. Modified silicon micromachining process is a novel MEMS micromachining technology. With this technique, millimeter wave antennas can be fabricated with air media instead of dielectric, which effectively reduces the dielectric loss. Moreover, the technology is a MEMS process, so it is very suitable for system-on-chip (SoC) applications. In this paper, the fabrication processes and principles are demonstrated, and three low loss antennas are presented in 60 GHz millimeter wave band.
