Advanced MMIC technology for the next generation-3D MMICs and master-slice technology

As an advanced microwave and millimeter-wave band technology, this paper introduces "Three-Dimensional and Master-Slice MMIC Technology." This approach is expected to be the basic technology for building next-generation microwave and millimeter-wave hardware. The advantages of the Master-Slice MMIC are that anyone can develop their own MMICs quickly and cheaply without special high-grade skills.
