Using Microfluidic Channels to Determine ZThe Quantitative Permittivity of Nanoliter Fluid Volumes from 50 MHz TO 40 GHz USING MICROFLUIDIC CHANNELS TO DETERMINE THE QUANTITATIVE PERMITTIVITY OF NANOLITER FLUID VOLUMES FROM 50 MHZ TO 40 GHZ

We describe the development of coplanar waveguide measurement structures integrated with microfluidic channels in order to rapidly determine the broadband dielectric properties of nanoliter volumes of fluids, fluid mixtures, and colloids over the range of

Temperature-dependent dielectric relaxation in bismuch zinc niobate thin films.

We apply broadband measurement techniques to determine the dielectric permittivity of Bi1.5Zn1.0Nb1.5O7 (BZN) thin films over the frequency range 1 kHz to 40 GHz. At room temperature, the permittivity function shows relaxation at high frequencies (1 GHz)

Third-Order Intermodulation Distortion due to Self-heating in Gold Coplanar Waveguides

Eduard Rocas, Juan C. Collado Gomez, Nathan D. Orloff, James C. Booth
We present measurements and modeling of a self-heating mechanism responsible for third order intermodulation distortion in coplanar waveguide transmission lines. Temperature fluctuations, at the envelope frequency of the input signal, induce dynamic

Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy of Ruddlesden-Popper Sr(n+1)Ti(n)O(3n+1) (n= 1, 2, 3) Thin Films

Nathan D. Orloff, Ichiro Takeuchi, James C. Booth, Dazhen Gu, Jordi Mateu, C. J. Fennie, K. M. Rabe, W Tian, D.G. Schlom
We explore the frequency dependent permittivity of Ruddlesden-Popper series Sr(n+1)Ti(n)O(3n+1) (n= 1, 2, 3) thin films as a function of temperature and dc electric-field. Interdigitated capacitors and coplanar waveguides are used to extract the frequency

Third order Intermodulation Distortion in Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators at Resonance and Antiresonance

Eduard Rocas, Juan C. Collado Gomez, Jordi Mateu, Nathan D. Orloff, Alberto Padilla, Juan Callaghan, James C. Booth, Robert Aigner
This paper presents recent measurements and modeling of the third order intermodulation products of a Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR), for a various values of frequency spacing between driving tones. The frequency dependence of voltage and current in

Broadband Permittivity Measurements of Thin-Film Ferroelectrics to 40 GHz

Nathan D. Orloff, James C. Booth, Makoto Murakami, Ichiro Takeuchi
We demonstrate a novel experimental technique to measure the complex permittivity function of dielectric thin films over the frequency range from 100 Hz to 40 GHz. We apply this technique to determine the broadband permittivity function for ferroelectric

Broadband Characterization of Multilayer Dielectric Thin-Films

Nathan D. Orloff, Jordi Mateu, Makoto Murakami, Ichiro Takeuchi, James C. Booth
We develop a measurement technique for obtaining the broadband complex permittivity of thin-film dielectric materials over the frequency range from 100 Hz-40 GHz. Such broad frequency coverage can only be accomplishe3d by combining lumped-element and
