Integrated Circuit Packages and Modules

Objective

Our goal is to develop high-performance microwave, millimeter-wave and submillimeter-wave packages and multi-chip modules in an organic platform that enables significant size, weight and cost reduction with increasing functionality.  The major areas of our research include: 1) hermetic packaging, 2) multichip module and phased array antenna subsystems, 3) single packages and transitions, 4) millimeter-wave and submillimeter-wave transmission medium and interconnects.​
