Low power ultra-low voltage THz range detector circuit exploration for plasmonic wave computing KU Leuven
Several initial results at KU Leuven ESAT-MICAS clearly indicate to feasibility of using CMOS technology to generate and detect THz waves. By exploiting the non-linear behavior of transistors, operation above fmax becomes possible and several examples up to 600GHz have already been demonstrated in 28nm CMOS. This clearly indicates the potential of building such very high frequency circuits at reasonable power consumption. However, these ...
