Abstract

A rigorous study of MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) microstrip transmission lines is presented. The characteristic impedance for MIS microstrip is calculated using a space-domain representation of electromagnetic fields. The numerical results obtained are compared with published experimental data. Transverse field distributions for various structural parameters are presented and used to illustrate the three distinct modes of operation for MIS transmission lines
