The maximum reduction in capacitance and conductance values of tapered TP-DMVs with a slope angle is ~75%, while the maximum increase in resistance and inductance value is ~93%. The signal integrity parameters, such as crosstalk, time to reach peak crosstalk, and propagation delay under the influence of surface roughness (SR) and temperature variations, are computed using the EM-RA technique and industry-level simulator SPICE. The variations include temperature and glass SR ranges from (300–500 K) and (150–<inline-formula> <tex-math>$1.5~mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>m). The comparison shows excellent conformity with less than 1% error.

Singular value decomposition (SVD) is used to express any radiation field as a linear combination of modes of multiple coupled interconnects. The same method is used for arbitrary dipole distribution. A suitable noise model is determined using only a few principal modes, rather than a large quantity of dipoles. For amplitude-only field data, the dipole model is solved by determining the coefficients of modes using a pattern search optimization, which is a relatively simple and time-saving algorithm. The proposed method is validated using a numerical example of multi-interconnect radiation. The field that is reconstructed using the proposed model exhibits a high degree of consistency with the actual spatial fields in terms of field amplitude and phase. Thence, the de-sense issues of the multi-interconnect systems can be effectively determined by the superposition of the effects from a few principal modes.","PeriodicalId":13085,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology","volume":"15 5","pages":"1044-1051"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143929652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Differing from conventional free-space techniques, the proposed approach removes the need for precise thickness knowledge of the material under test (MUT) and reference plane calibration. Even when the MUT thickness varies in a single sample, the proposed method effectively reduces the relevant estimate uncertainty. When applying it to estimate the permittivity of thick plexiglass and nylon plates across the 140–210-GHz frequency range, it demonstrates good agreement with published articles and lower uncertainty of the estimates. The proposed method is well-suited for permittivity characterizations at THz frequencies, particularly in scenarios where precise rulers are lacking or MUT thickness varies in a single sample.","PeriodicalId":13085,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology","volume":"15 5","pages":"1151-1154"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10929045","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143932259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In defect localization, the mean relative error (MRE) of the proposed method is less than 8%, and the maximum relative error (MaxRE) does not exceed 13%.

In this design, InP PAs are strategically embedded at the center of a glass substrate (AGC EN-A1) sandwiched by low-loss dielectric layers (ABF-GL102) on both sides. This arrangement facilitates ultrashort die-to-package interconnects through 20-<inline-formula> <tex-math>$mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>m dielectric vias, achieving a remarkably low simulated loss of 0.2–0.3 dB at 140 GHz and an impressive <inline-formula> <tex-math>$S11$ </tex-math></inline-formula>/<inline-formula> <tex-math>$S22$ </tex-math></inline-formula> of less than −15 dB across a wide frequency range from 110 to 170 GHz. We conducted a thorough evaluation of various PA designs with two-stage and three-stage amplifying circuits embedded within this package. The findings reveal that the embedded InP PAs deliver consistent small signal gains of 11.1 dB for the two-stage and 15.8 dB for the three-stage PAs at 140 GHz, comparable with their bare die performance and other existing packaging technologies. A key feature of this design is the integration of a 5-<inline-formula> <tex-math>$mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>m-thick copper heat spreader on the PA backside, which significantly enhances thermal management.
