Abstract:
A hot-via flip-chip interconnect for the 40 GHz band is presented. The chip in-out cell includes on-wafer probing pads and is minimized with regard to size. An optimized design shows excellent performance with 10 GHz of bandwidth and -40 dB isolation. This demonstrates the potential of the hot-via approach in mm-wave applications.
