Advances in Submillimeter Semiconductor-Based Device Designs and Processes

Planar submillimeter circuits are slowly replacing whisker-contacted devices at frequencies above 100 GHz, but in many cases the size constraints brought on by the short wavelengths null associated with high frequency operation have not been adequeately addressed. null Also, reproducibility becomes more important as we make the transition from tunable, whisker-based null circuits to more monolithic designs. We are continuing to develop new...
