5.4 Measurement – <strong>Design</strong> 2: R36 on Silicon5.4 Measurement – <strong>Design</strong> 2: R36 on Siliconname design W S length frequency capacitance substrate[µm] [µm] [mm] [GHz] value materialR36 design 2 20 50 9.854 6.38 overcoupled 31 fF SiliconTable 5.10: Description <strong>of</strong> the resonator R36 on Silicon.The dimensions <strong>of</strong> the design 2 used for R36 are larger than in the two other designs.The capacitor is designed to be in between the overcoupled <strong>and</strong> undercoupled cases. InFigure 5.19 the transmission near the resonance at 4.5 <strong>and</strong> 1.5 K is shown. The qualityfactors are around 300. One could assume the value <strong>of</strong> coupling capacitance to be too highfor better quality factors. The shift in resonance frequency can again be attributed to thechange in the dielectric constant, caused by liquid Helium entering the box.Figure 5.19: Transmission S 21 <strong>of</strong> R36 on Silicon at 4 K <strong>and</strong> 1.5 K.Figure 5.20 shows the transmission <strong>and</strong> reflection <strong>of</strong> R36 near the resonance. The qualitiesin reflection <strong>and</strong> transmission are <strong>of</strong> the same order <strong>of</strong> magnitude.From comparison with the other designs (see Figure 5.5 <strong>and</strong> Figure 5.14) one could suggestthat the higher the coupling, the higher the quality factor <strong>of</strong> reflection compared to thequality factor <strong>of</strong> transmission. The phase change at 5.69 GHz in Figure 5.7a verifies theresonance at this frequency.55
