Abstract
This paper deals with an Integrated Circuits (ICs) compatible MEMS technology, which is used to elaborate an ultra compact RF communication module centered at 24GHz. This technology uses conventional equipments and is in adequation with millimeterwave applications. A compatibility test protocol has consequently been defined in order to check that each technological step does not degrade the SiGe circuits’ performances. Finally, the realized demonstrator present a total surface of only 9mm².
