Sub-Orbital Flight Demonstration of a 183/540–600 GHz Hybrid CMOS-InP and CMOS-Schottky-MEMS Limb-Sounder

This paper presents an overview of a sub-orbital flight demonstration with a 183 GHz and 540–600 GHz limb-sounding instrument aboard a stratospheric ballooncraft. The 183 GHz band provides soundings of stratospheric H 2 O and is implemented with a hybrid CMOS-InP receiver architecture which provides excellent sensitivity while remaining compact ...

Hybrid Wafer-Level Packaging for RF-MEMS and Optoelectronic Applications

The current trend in electronic packaging research is to integrate more functions into one package, reduce electrical path parasitic, and increase the heat conduction in order to make the final packaged system smaller, more reliable, more functional and more complete, while keeping the packaging cost low. In this trend, unconventional devices ...
