Hey guys,
i'm not sure why do we need SiO2 on a Silicon substrate for Micromachined microstrip antenna? I've designed a rectangular array antenna on a silicon substrate with air cavity, but what I've seen on multiple papers that they use a thin layer of SiO2 on top of the Si substrate for some reason. Does anyone knows?
I appreciate the help
Thanks,
Sam
