Waveguide type dielectric resonators - Part 1-5: General information and test conditions - Measurement method of conductivity at interface between conductor layer and dielectric substrate at microwave frequency

Microwave circuits are popularly formed on multi-layered organic or non-organic substrates. In
the microwave circuits, the attenuation of planar transmission lines such as striplines,
microstrip lines, and coplanar lines are determined by their conductor loss, dielectric loss and
radiation loss. Among them, the conductor loss is a major factor in the attenuation of the
planar transmission lines. A new measurement method is standardized in this document to
evaluate the conductivity of transmission line on or in the substrates such as the organic,
ceramic and LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramics) substrates. This standard describes a
measurement method for resistance and effective conductivity at the interface between
conductor layer and dielectric substrate, which are called interface resistance and interface
conductivity.
This measurement method has the following characteristics:
– the interface resistance Ri is obtained by measuring the resonant frequency f0 and
unloaded quality factor Qu of a TE01δ mode dielectric rod resonator shown in Figure 2;
– the interface conductivity σi and the relative interface conductivity σri = σi / σ0 are calculated from
the measured Ri value, where σ0 = 5,8 × 107 S/m is the conductivity of standard copper;
– the measurement uncertainty of σri (Δσri) is less than 5 %.

L'IEC 61338-1-5:2015 décrit une méthode de mesure de la résistance et de la conductivité efficace au niveau de l'interface entre la couche conductrice et le substrat diélectrique, appelées résistance d'interface et conductivité d'interface. Cette première édition annule et remplace l'IEC PAS 61338-1-5 parue en 2010. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) description de contenu technique lié à des brevets (brevets japonais numéro JP3634966 et JP3735501) dans l'Introduction;
b) modifications de références normatives;

Dielektrični resonatorji valovodnega tipa - 1-5. del: Splošni podatki in pogoji preskušanja - Metoda za meritve prevodnosti na vmesniku med prevodno plastjo in dielektričnim substratom pri mikrovalovni frekvenci

Mikrovalovna vezja so običajno oblikovana na večplastnih organskih ali anorganskih substratih. Dušenje planarnih prenosnih vodov, kot so ploščati valovodi, mikro ploščati valovodi in koplanarni vodi, je v mikrovalovnih vezjih določeno z izgubo v kondenzatorju, izgubo v dielektriku in izgubo zaradi sevanja. Med temi je izguba v kondenzatorju glavni dejavnik, ki vpliva na dušenje planarnih prenosnih vodov. V tem dokumentu je standardizirana nova meritvena metoda za oceno prevodnosti prenosnih vodov na ali v substratih, kot so organski substrati, keramični substrati ali substrati iz nizkotemperaturne sočasno sintrane keramike (LTCC). Ta standard opisuje meritveno metodo za upornost in efektivno prevodnost na vmesniku med prevodno plastjo in dielektričnim substratom, imenovani upornost na vmesniku in prevodnost na vmesniku.
Ta meritvena metoda ima naslednje lastnosti:
– upornost na vmesniku Ri pridobimo tako, da izmerimo resonančno frekvenco f0 in neobremenjen kvalitativni faktor Qu resonatorja z drogom iz dielektrika načina TE01δ, ki ga prikazuje slika 2;
– prevodnost na vmesniku σi in relativna prevodnost na vmesniku σri = σi / σ0 sta izračunani iz izmerjene vrednosti Ri, pri čemer je σ0 = 5,8 × 107 S/m prevodnost navadnega bakra;
– meritvena negotovost σri (Δσri) je manjša od 5 %

Measurement method of conductivity at interface between

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
International Standard IEC 61338-1-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee
49: Piezoelectric, dielectric and electrostatic devices and associated materials for frequency
control, selection and detection.
This first edition cancels and replaces IEC PAS 61338-1-5 published in 2010.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) description of technical content related to patents (Japanese patent numbers JP3634966,
JP3735501) in the Introduction;
b) changes to normative references;
c) addition to bibliography.
