One of the main markets for Silicon-onInsulator (SOI) devices is the high-temperature applications. In the last decade, the technology advances to deep submicron to improve device performances in term of cut-off frequency. Practical application of integrated circuits requires the consideration of a wide temperature range, and transmission lines are widely used in MMIC's as interconnects and matching networks. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the performances of the transmission line structures on SOI substrate in a wide temperature range, as a function of frequency. The behaviour of 50 Ω microstrip (MSL) and coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line topologies versus temperature is presented.
