Abstract
An integrated circuit system having: (A) a semiconductor chip with a signal strip conductor disposed on an upper surface of the chip; an active semiconductor device disposed of the upper surface of the chip electrically connected to the signal strip conductor; and a first ground plane conductor disposed on a bottom surface of the chip disposed under the signal strip conductor; and (B) a support structure having: a second ground plane disposed over, and separated from, the signal strip conductor by a dielectric region between the second ground plane and the signal strip conductor on the chip; a signal contact disposed on the bottom surface of the support structure displaced, electrically insulated, from the second ground plane conductor, and electrically connected to a portion of the signal strip conductor. The signal strip conductor, the first ground plane conductor, and the second ground plane conductor provide a stripline microwave transmission line.
