Terahertz Electronics

Abstract

(U)Terahertz Electronics will develop the critical semiconductor device and integration technologies necessary to realize compact, high-performance microelectronic devices and circuits that operate at center frequencies exceeding 1 Terahertz (THz). There are numerous benefits to operating in the THz regime and multiple new applications in imaging, radar, communications, and spectroscopy, all enabled by electronics that operate in the THz frequency regime. The Terahertz Electronics program is divided into two major technical activities: Terahertz Transistor Electronics that includes the development and demonstration of materials and processing technologies for transistors and integrated circuits for receivers and exciters that operate at THz frequencies; and Terahertz High Power Amplifier (HPA) Modules that includes the development and demonstration of device and processing technologies for high power amplification of THz signals in compact modules.
