Abstract

Mixer is a basic RF device for signal transportation and has potential applications in many fields. A novel sub-millimeter mixer device based on MEMS technology has been designed and fabricated. In this design, SU-8 photoresist which has a high dielectric constant, was used as the dielectric layer of the device. The subsequent processes, such as photolithography, electroplating of micro-strip etc., were carried out on SU-8 dielectric layer. By using positive- and negative photoresist sacrifical process, a novel sub-millimeter mixer was demonstrated.
