There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Polylithic Integration Using Fused-Silica Stitch-Chips for RF/MM-Wave and High-Speed Systems: Modeling, Fabrication, and Characterization

Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to demonstrate the interconnect performance of a novel polylithic integration technology using fused-silica stitch-chips for emerging RF/mm-wave and high-speed systems, such as 5G wireless application. The preliminary research demonstrated the electrical characterization of signal channels on the stitch-chips which are low-loss (less than 0.42 dB insertion loss and less than 12.7 dB return loss up to 40 GHz) with low parasitics. The future research focuses on alternative off-chip I/O design, fine-pitch I/O demonstration, and demonstration with active ICs.
