AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The method effectively decreases dimensional errors and reflection loss, enabling precise impedance matching and low dielectric loss, thus enhancing the integration and performance of high-frequency signal transmission circuits.

Problems solved by technology

However, the above-described transmission circuit having a hollow structure has the problem of causing difficulty in controlling the dimensional precision of the hollow portion and easily producing a dimensional error in the manufacturing process.
Although the dielectric loss may be decreased by forming the hollow portion, a reflection loss is increased by mismatch between characteristic impedances at a boundary between the hollow portion and the other portion of the substrate.

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a high-frequency signal transmission circuit includes the steps of forming a groove to surround a first region on a semiconductor substrate, filling the groove with a stopper material, forming a high-frequency transmission line on the semiconductor substrate so that the transmission line extends over the first region, and etching the first region of the semiconductor substrate using the stopper material as an etching stopper to form a recess in the first region.
