            Abstract : 
We have investigated the impact of die thickness on integrated passive device (IPD) performance both in simulation and from measurement for RF stack-die applications. Our simulation approach accurately predicts the behavior of the IPD in such stack-die configuration. This should help us to generate guidelines for RF integrated passive devices to be used in 3D stack-die packages.
