In this work 10-GHz-band RF measurement and microscopy characterizations were performed on thermally and mechanically long-term-stressed coplanar waveguides (CPW) to observe electrical and mechanical degradation in 1-mm-thick PPO/PPE polymer substrates with inkjet-printed Ag conductors. The structure contained two different CPW geometries in a total of 18 samples with 250/270μm line widths/gaps and 670/180μm line widths/gaps. A reliability test was carried out with three sets. In set #1 three 250μm and three 670μm lines were stored in room temperature conditions and used as a reference. In set #2 six samples were thermally cycled (TC) for 10,000cycles, and in set #3 six samples were thermally cycled and bent with 6mm and 8mm bending diameters. |
