Computer-Aided Design of Semiconductor Mounts in Fin-Line Technology

Based on both a rigorous eigenmode calculation and a modal analysis of discontinuities, a computer-aided design of some diode mounts in fin-line technology has been performed. Theoretical results on a detector with Schottky-diode, a reflection-type phase modulator with pin-diode, a switch with two pin-diodes, and a Gunn oscillator show good agreement with measurements. Finally, some design rules are outlined for mounting semi-conductor devices in a fin-line.
