A new method is described for mounting microwave semiconductor devices on a circuit board in a flip-chip configuration, which overcomes the limitations on the maximum temperature of operation encountered in conventional bonding techniques such as soldering. This method uses electro-deposited copper to form the contacts, and temperature limitation comes only from the device itself.

This paper investigates the determination of the intrinsic high-frequency characteristics of a multi-pin backplane connector. The intrinsic characteristics are the characteristics (S-parameters) of the connector without the presence of a component board or a backplane on which it must be mounted. The connector model, which is independent of the connector via holes, can be used in system simulations with arbitrary component boards and backplanes.

This paper presents a descriptive study of the design and modeling of grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) and finite ground coplanar waveguide (FGCPW) circuits for microwave and millimeter wave applications. It is demonstrated that FGCPWs have a number of advantages over GCPW and microstrip, including that it easily accommodates flip chip packaging. It is also demonstrated that full-wave electromagnetic analysis tools can be used effectively to reduce the design cycle time of practical microwave circuit devices.

The paper describes the coupling effects from adjacent lines for different types of material. The impact of high frequency effects will be shown for long board lines, which reduces the coupling noise. A typical off chip net structure of an S/390 computer system is examined and the attenuation effect is discussed for frequency dependent model parameters of the R, L and G values. Also the importance of the signal to power ratio for via structures and connectors will be demonstrated for several examples. Multiple cycle impacts are shown if reflections of the active signals coincide with the subsequent cycle. Finally, a comparison of the timing impact is given for thinfilm, standard ceramic, glass ceramic and FR4 board lines.

Crosstalk models, used for the estimation of near and far end crosstalk voltages between two parallel transmission lines, are evaluated. The quantitative validity ranges, in terms of transmission line length and coupling coefficient, of crosstalk models are presented. It is shown that the accuracy of the commonly used crosstalk models deteriorates as the increase of coupling coefficient and line length. A new crosstalk model with improved accuracy is proposed and evaluated.

This paper introduces a new technique based on the application of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) for extracting the equivalent circuits for measured or computed S-parameters that can be inserted into SPICE simulations. The GA is a robust optimization tool that is shown to yield excellent result for the sample test case of a right angle bend in a microstrip line.

This paper presents information about the development of a versatile FDTD solver and explores design issues relevant to the packaging and interconnect design engineers. The EM analysis development is called "LC". It consists of a GUI interface with the ability to auto-mesh a graphically defined user geometry. A number of different excitations are possible, and the outputs can yield not only field data, but also voltages, currents, impedances, inductances, capacitances and fluxes. Further, both time and frequency-domain data are available on output. It also allows for 2-D visual simulations of the full 3-D problem being simulated during time-stepping. This is very useful in identifying problem areas with a particular design. Another very important and relevant feature of the LC tool is an interface to SPICE which will analyze a circuit based on FDTD field values linked to SPICE at each time step. The SPICE interface also generates output voltages and/or currents that modify the FDTD field values which are then used during the next FDTD time-step. Essentially LC is an integrated EM model editor, simulator, and analysis tool. It is composed of 100,000 lines of C and Fortran, uses OSF/Motif, and is portable to all commercial Unix platforms. Its companion batch simulator, FDTD, and plotting program, LCPlot, are also included in the executable distribution.

We present the design and development of ultra low loss and high density organic interconnect packaging technology at millimeter wave frequencies. Various microstrip passive components have been designed and characterized to demonstrate that the high density organic interconnect approach is suitable for W-band (75 GHz-110 GHz) packaging. The loss of the organic interconnects has been found to be comparable with that of microstrip lines on alumina substrates at W-band frequencies.
