  • Abstract
    A low-cost broadband bondwire interconnect is proposed for THz heterogeneous system integration. A transversal path composed of two transmission lines and a bondwire is introduced to effectively reduce the bondwire effect of an original signal path consisted of a single bondwire only. Simulation results indicate that the return loss and insertion loss can be better than 15 dB and 2.3 dB from dc to 456 GHz, respectively. Measured interconnect loss is around 0 dB to 1.5 dB from 320 to 340 GHz.
