  • Publication number: 20190363748
    Abstract: An integrated passive device transmission-line resonator is disclosed herein. An example structure of the transmission-line resonator includes a glass substrate having first and second sides, a ground plane, a dielectric layer, and features fabricated from two metal layers. A first metal layer, which is formed on the second side of the glass substrate, includes a first capacitor plate and a conductor that, in conjunction with a portion of the ground plane, realizes a transmission line. A portion of the dielectric layer is disposed between the first capacitor plate and a second capacitor plate, which is formed from a second metal layer and positioned axially above the first capacitor plate, to form a capacitor. A smooth interface between a surface of the second side of the glass substrate and the conductor reduces transmission losses of signals propagating across the transmission line and increases performance of the transmission-line resonator.
