英文摘要： Terahertz (THz) technology is in the cross field of electronics and photonics. With many unique properties, THz has important scientific value and broad application prospects in radar imaging, material analysis, environment monitoring and high capacity communication etc. The application of directional couplers is very extensive in terahertz system, it can be used in signal extraction , separation and mixing, signal sampling and monitoring of transmitter, and also can be used as a reflection power meter, etc. As one of the core devices , the performance of directional couplers is directly related to the whole index of terahertz circuit system. Since the size of the terahertz devices is in tens of microns to millimeter level, the traditional machining technology is difficult to meet the requirements of machining precision and even is not be able to succeed. Based on the great advantages of UV Liga technology in the terahertz device processing, this project intends to adopt UV-Liga process to manufacture 500 GHZ directional coupler. When compatible with the traditional machining technology at the same time, UV-LIGA technology overcomed shortcomings in traditional machining process such as the great error and large surface roughness , solved technical problems in the lithography, electroforming and bonding critical process steps .put forward a technological process which is suitable for high precision batch processing , and produced a integrated THz directional coupler with to a large bandwidth and good directional property.
