Summary: 
This paper proposes high-Q distributed constant passive devices using wafer-level chip scale package (WL-CSP) technology, which can be realized on a Si CMOS chip. A 90directional coupler using the WL-CSP technology has center frequency of 25.6 GHz, insertion loss of -0.5 dB and isolation of -29.8 dB in the measurement result. The WL-CSP technology contributes to realize low-loss RF passive devices on Si CMOS chip, which is indispensable to achieve small-size, cost-effective and low-power monolithic wireless communication circuits (MWCCs).
