The two types of practical plastic packages are proposed in this study for practical terahertz applications by using a plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC), and also by embedding a parabolic antenna. A resonant tunneling diode (RTD) oscillator onto the top surface of which a dipole antenna is integrated is mounted in the packages to measure the radiation characteristics. The antenna gain is improved by 5 dB for the PLCC, while 17 dB for the parabolic-antenna type, compared to that of the RTD bare chip. The team also fabricates terahertz-imaging modules by utilizing PLCC-packaged RTD's as an oscillator and a detector. A perspective image obtained by line-scan with 1.25-mm pixel pitch elucidates the usefulness of the package.
