Important characteristics of this material include high dielectric constant (~10) and very low loss tangent (~0.0001), characterized in 10-60 GHz, and high thermal conductivity (36-38 W\/m.K). Given the interesting characteristics of ARC, not much is known about its electrical properties over a broad range of frequencies in the mm-wave and sub-mmwave frequency ranges as well as its potential applications for 5G systems. As a result, suitability and viability of ARC substrates is investigated through characterization of their electrical properties (dielectric constant and loss tangent) and demonstration of low-loss interconnects on them up to sub-THz frequency region (3-170 GHz) whereas their effectiveness for 5G mm-wave frequency bands is shown through demonstration of various passive components on them in 0.1-50 GHz, typically used in RF FEMs. Furthermore, the transmission loss and electrical parasitics (resistance and inductance) of through-alumina vias (TAVs) in ARC substrates are characterized for the first time for 5G packaging applications in 0.1-50 GHz. To this end, different passive components such as microstrip ring resonators (MRRs), transmission lines (microstrip, CPW, and SIW), dual-port GSG structures, CPW-TAV daisy chains, filters (lowpass and bandpass), diplexers, couplers, and integrated passive devices (IPDs) are modeled, designed, and fabricated on ultra-thin ARC substrates (40- and 80-\u00b5m-thick) and characterized in 5G and mm-wave frequency ranges. In summary, the promising results obtained in this dissertation corroborate the suitability of ARC substrate as a new emerging ultra-thin material for 5G and mm-wave packaging applications as well as its competency for realizing ultra-miniaturized, high-performance passive components for heterogeneously-integrated RF FEMs in 5G wireless communication systems, as compared to their counterparts on the state-of-the-art 5G substrate technologies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Exploration of Ultra-thin Alumina Ribbon Ceramic Substrate for 5G and mm-Wave Applications "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2023-09-29 19:15:44","changed_gmt":"2023-09-29 19:16:23","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-10-03T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-10-03T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-10-03T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-10-03 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-10-03 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-10-03 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Online","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/us05web.zoom.us\/j\/88976639984?pwd=uBbN1ICBw9abpI5yeYT6zliO736RbQ.1","title":"Zoom link"}],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
