Provided are coaxial waveguide microstructures. The microstructures
include a substrate and a coaxial waveguide disposed above the substrate.
The coaxial waveguide includes: a center conductor; an outer conductor
including one or more walls, spaced apart from and disposed around the
center conductor; one or more dielectric support members for supporting
the center conductor in contact with the center conductor and enclosed
within the outer conductor; and a core volume between the center
conductor and the outer conductor, wherein the core volume is under
vacuum or in a gas state. Also provided are methods of forming coaxial
waveguide microstructures by a sequential build process and hermetic
packages which include a coaxial waveguide microstructure.
