Aerosol-Jet Printed Transmission Lines for Microwave Packaging Applications

This paper presents a low-loss microstrip line (MSL), entirely fabricated using aerosol-jet printing (AJP) technology directly to a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) chip to achieve high-speed on-chip connectivity. AJP is a direct write fabrication method capable of printing materials with viscosity ranging from 1-1000 cP, with a printing resolution and alignment precision of 10 and 2...
