We present an innovative “shifted RF Pad” TRL on–wafer calibration kit to minimize the impact of crosstalk. The impact of the crosstalk in on-wafer measurement up to 330 GHz is observable by comparing results of DUTs obtained using the shifted and conventional RF pad calibration kit during calibration. Use of shifted RF pad structures shows improvement in measured DUT characteristics owing to reduced crosstalk. In addition, simulation results obtained using EM simulator, TCAD and SPICE models are employed to analyze the on-wafer measurement of DUTs.
