Abstract
A series of microstrips with patterned Ni78Fe22 ferromagnetic cores have been investigated for RF applications. The devices have been integrated onto a silicon substrate by using a fully IC-compatible process. The Ni78Fe22 films were deposited by electroplating onto Si at room temperature and were structured into rectangular prisms with large aspect ratios, i.e., 10:1 and 40:1. Measurements have been performed using a network analyzer. Voltage attenuation of 19 dB/cm has been obtained at 3.9 GHz on a 2-mm-long strip line. The propagating wavelength is reduced by 60% compared to a control device without ferromagnetic core.
