3D printed Hexaferrite Polymers with in situ Programming of Self-Bias

Abstract

The goal of this project is to create polymers embedded with hexaferrite polymers that will be used to enable extreme miniaturization of millimeter-wave components that required magnetic fields, such as circulators. Additive manufacturing is used to deposit custom magnetic particles using strontium hexaferrite and barium hexaferrite particles. These particles are able to provide a self-biasing fields, enabling on-chip biasing fields for millimeter wave components. Subsequently, circulators and inductors will be designed and fabricated using the newly developed fabrication process for depositing and biasing the magnetic polymers mentioned above.
