Abstract :
Thin film grounded coplanar waveguides using Parylene-C and Cyclic-Olefin-Copolymer (COC) as low loss thin film have been fabricated and characterized up to 320 GHz. Attenuation around 1.75 dB/mm has been measured at 300 GHz with ~5-μm-thick Parylene-C film, close to the attenuation obtained with Cyclo-Olefin Copolymer film of similar thickness.
