To All Our IEEE Foothill Section Members: Here is a chance to hear an excellent lecture on substrate Integrated Circuits; their promise and their known problems that will determine their future. Professor Ke Wu has been involved in recent work on substrate integrated coaxial lines for wideband applications. This presentation is a joint meeting for all the MTT chapters in our Southern California area.

SUBSTRATE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (SICs) – A PARADIGM FOR FUTURE GHz
AND THz ELECTRONIC AND PHOTONIC SYSTEMS
Professor Ke Wu
Widespread applications and commercial success of future GHz and THz
electronic and photonic devices and systems including RF, microwaves and
millimeter-waves are closely related to their manufacturing cost and circuit
integration. Our proposed integration technologies of planar and non-planar
structures as well as related new progress indicate that the emerging substrate
integrated circuits (SICs) are able to provide unprecedented advantages for
developing low-cost GHz/THz components, systems and wireless photonic
applications. This talk reviews the state-of-the-art and underlying features of the
proposed integration platforms for designing the next generation RF and
millimeter-wave ICs and systems. Challenging issues and future directions are
discussed for research and developments. Potential problems and possible
solutions are also presented. It is believed that the newly proposed concept of SICs
will offer a potentially cost-effective and performance-promising solution for mass
commercial applications. With the development of innovative fabrication
processes and material synthesis techniques, unique hybrid and monolithic highdensity
3-D integration of planar and non-planar structures (or system-on-substrate
approach) become realizable. It can also be demonstrated that this scheme of SICs
effectively bridges the gap between electronics and photonics. In this presentation,
our current research activities and future RF and millimeter-wave research
directions will also be discussed.
