Measurement and simulation studies are conducted on transmission crosstalk in thick silicon-on-insulator substrates. This paper focuses on the role of buried oxide layers and deep trench isolation in suppressing crosstalk. With radio frequency coupling paths on substrates depending on noise frequency, a deep trench guides noise signals to substrates and suppresses transmission crosstalk between input and output ports. Good agreement is obtained between electromagnetic field (EM) simulation and measurement results. The EM simulation results suggest different approaches might be used in designing deep trench isolation patterns for a middle resistivity (MR) substrate and a high resistivity (HR) substrate. Deep trench isolation plays a more important role in HR substrates than in MR substrates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
