Abstract:In this paper, small-and large-signal performances of passive devices integrated on high-resistivity, trap-rich and gold-doped silicon wafers are presented and compared through measurements and simulations. The gold-doped silicon substrate was produced starting from standard silicon having a nominal resistivity of 56 Ω.cm. We show that the gold-doped substrate presents high effective resistivity and low losses suitable for RF applications, this has been done by measuring coplanar waveguides, crosstalk, inducto… Show more
