Conclusions
Development of CPW on cyclic olefin TOPAS copolymer is realized, a novel technique
is used in order to develop thin films TOPAS that was used as a CPW substrate;
electrical characterization shows that TOPAS is a good contender to develop
inexpensive Terahertz technology, a survey with an FTIR remains to be done on the thin
films to obtain the electrical response (dielectric function) in higher range of
frequency (0.1- 6 THz) to corroborate our results. TOPAS shows good compatibility with
most popular microfabrication technics including dry and wet etching process

Recent advances in the fabrication of Cyclic-Olefin Copolymer,TOPAS based THz Coplanar Waveguides (CPW) are described. Firstly the TOPAS films are fabricated by dissolving the raw material in toluene at
different concentrations and by subsequent deposition on top of Silicon wafer substrates. We found the best homogeneity and roughness results for the films where the solvent is extracted by vacuum
desorption on top of the wafer and then hot embossed. Metal patterns are then designed and fabricated on top of the TOPAS film by conventional optical lithography and wet etching. The metal is 2nm Cr + 200
nm gold. The expected electrical characteristics in the frequency range of interest are calculated and extrapolated from a quasistatic regimen.

Terahertz regimen (0.1-10 THz) represents de gap between microwaves and far-infrared spectrum which was mainly used for passive detections in
astronomical applications, however with the emergence of low power terahertz sources using former microwave source methods such as harmonic
oscillators and frequency multipliers, femtoseconds lasers and photoconductive antennas give rise to a large number of applications as terahertz
spectroscopy systems for material characterizations, imaging systems, biomaterial applications, and sensing applications [1-2]…. moreover Akyildiz
et al carry [3] out and in-depth study about potential applications in higher speed wireless communication
