Abstract
High quality broadband passive components are needed for MMIC/MIC in silicon. Coplanar waveguides (CPW) provide an effective way to implement passives in microwave ICs. Silver “fat” wires in the back end interconnects, used for CPW fabrication, will reduce the bulk resistive loss in metallization to the lowest possible level, which is vital to minimize noise. Electromigration, electrochemical migration, and agglomeration issues are not a problem for silver microwave passive components, because of their coarse dimensions and the low current densities encountered in these structures. In this work Ag and Cu CPWs were designed, fabricated, and tested. Silver CPWs showed a 2–3Ω∕cm improvement in resistance over copper devices at 20GHz.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
