Abstract

In this paper we present FDTD simulations for multichip interconnects between a CPW transmission line; CPW transmission line and a CPW chip (CPW-CPW-CPW) using metallic; spherical bumps. We show that the main influence on the performance of the entire CPW-CPW-CPW structure has the first level of interconnection; where the via holes are used. A reduction in return loss can be achieved by using small bump dimensions in the lower CPW-CPW interconnection.
