Abstract :
In this paper, we consider the design of an integrated 60 GHz array using a hybrid silicon-polymer material system. A PTFE (Teflon) printed square array is proposed and analyzed. A discussion of related microfabrication challenges is also presented, along with some processes to overcome these challenges. Finally, the topic of silicon- polymer integration is addressed.
