- 1985, Jeffrey Frey, K. B. Bhasin, Microwave integrated circuits[1], page 273:
- Figure 3a shows the process flow for an air dielectric cross-over or air bridge
- 1986, General Electric Company (Great Britain), The GEC journal of research[2], volume 4, page 107:
- An airbridge is essentially a thick plated strap which crosses over one or several conductors with an air gap in between for low parasitic coupling
- 1988, Joseph Mun, GaAs integrated circuits[3], page 216:
- Here the so-called 'air-bridge' crossover is useful. This crossover consists of a deposited strap which crosses over one or more conductors with an air gap in between for low capacitive coupling.
