Abstract
Millimeter scale three dimensional antenna structures and methods for fabricating such structures are disclosed. According to one method, a first substantially planar die having a first antenna structure is placed on a first surface. A second substantially planar die having at least one conductive element is placed on a second surface that forms an oblique angle with the first surface. The first and second dies are mechanically coupled to each other such that the first die and the first antenna structure extend at the oblique angle to the second die.
