A low-cost broadband interconnect, composed of bondwires and transmission lines, is proposed for heterogeneous system integration. By designing the length and the characteristic impedance of the transmission lines, the bondwire effect can be reduced to provide an interconnect with good return loss and low insertion loss. In this work, the chip and the carrier are realized in 90-nm CMOS and GIPD process, respectively. Measured results show that the return loss and the insertion loss are better than 10 dB and 1.1 dB, respectively, from DC to 45.2 GHz.

A broadband interconnect for THz heterogeneous system integration is proposed using a resonator coupling technique. Two resonators, deployed on a chip and a carrier, respectively, are coupled through the electromagnetic field to provide a low-loss interconnect in a broadband manner. Simulation results indicate an insertion loss of 0.32 dB at 170 GHz while covering 3-dB bandwidth from 100 to 344 GHz. Measurement can be conducted to verify its performance only from 140 GHz to 220 GHz, due to equipment limit. The measured minimum insertion loss is 0.47 dB at 164 GHz.

A low-cost broadband bondwire interconnect is proposed for THz heterogeneous system integration. A transversal path composed of two transmission lines and a bondwire is introduced to effectively reduce the bondwire effect of an original signal path consisted of a single bondwire only. Simulation results indicate that the return loss and insertion loss can be better than 15 dB and 2.3 dB from dc to 456 GHz, respectively. Measured interconnect loss is around 0 dB to 1.5 dB from 320 to 340 GHz.

A low-cost terahertz transmitter is proposed by using system-on-package (SoP) heterogeneous system integration. A signal source in 40-nm CMOS is integrated with an antenna array on a Benzocyclobutene carrier through a broadband low-loss terahertz interconnect. The signal source adopting triple-push oscillator topology is able to produce a differential output without any additional balun circuit. Hence, the power consumption and the chip area can be reduced. The antenna array containing 50 patch antennas is differentially excited to give simulated directivity, efficiency, and antenna gain as high as 22.6 dB, 88%, and 22 dBi, respectively, at 335 GHz. The terahertz interconnect employs a resonator coupling technique to provide low-loss and broadband performance while occupying a small area. Measured results show that the proposed terahertz transmitter can work at 338.4 GHz with equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) of 8.0 dBm while consuming only 37.5 mW from a 1-V supply. The measured half-power beam-width can be as narrow as 15.5 degrees. The EIRP can be further raised to 9.5 dBm as the supply V-DD is increased to 1.3 V. The CMOS chip only occupies an area as small as 0.028 mm(2). All of the design efforts enable the proposed terahertz transmitter to feature in small form factor, low power dissipation, low cost, and high performance. To the best of the authors\' knowledge, this is the most compact, lowest power, lowest cost, and high-performance SoP-based terahertz transmitter reported thus far.

A low-cost broadband bondwire interconnect is proposed for heterogeneous system integration. Transmission lines are incorporated with bondwires to form a two-path structure, which can effectively reduce the bondwire effect. Theoretical analysis is provided using a graphical method and it shows that the interconnect can give widest operation bandwidth from dc up to a maximum frequency f(max) if the length of the transmission lines is designed at an optimal electrical length theta(max) . In particular, theta(max) only depends on the characteristic impedance of the transmission lines. The achievable f(max) is limited by the bondwire inductance, i.e., smaller bondwire inductance is preferred to have wider operation bandwidth. An interconnect from a 0.18-mu m CMOS chip to a glass-integrated-passive-device carrier is designed to verify the proposed concept. Measured results show that the insertion loss and the return loss can be better than 3.0 and 13.4 dB, respectively, from dc to 84 GHz. The proposed interconnect shows around 3.2 times bandwidth of a single bondwire alone. To the best of authors' knowledge, this work demonstrates the bondwire interconnect with the widest operation bandwidth for heterogeneous system integration by using system-on-package reported thus far.
