Wide Band RF Waveguide and Hybrid Integration in a Silicon Package

A device includes a device wafer having a circuit component formed thereon and having vias formed therein and a cap wafer bonded to the device wafer. The cap wafer has a cavity therein. The cavity has a post formed therein, and the post is positioned to mechanically support the vias formed in the device wafer. The cavity has a volume, the volume substantially enclosing the circuit component formed on the device wafer. The cavity has a width and height such that an impedance of a transmission line is dependent upon the width and height of the cavity, or the impedance of a transmission line is dependent upon the width of a center conductor within the cavity.
