Abstract :
This paper presents the electrical design, measurement and reliability tests of an encapsulated MMIC using a dam & fill technique. Materials, dispensing techniques, RF design are evaluated. Test samples have been designed and manufactured. Electrical results show a slight decay in frequency of the electrical characteristics (about 300MHz) but the component still offers good performances in the relevant bandwidth for receivers.
