  • Abstract
    A full-wave finite element analysis is used to examine the dispersive effects of a thin metal-insulating layer in CPW and microstrip MMICs. This layer is often encountered in the MMIC manufacturing process residing on top of a semiconducting substrate. The effects of metallization thickness are also examined.
