Terahertz Electronics
Abstract
The Terahertz Electronics program developed 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 for electronics operating in the THz regime and new applications in imaging, radar, communications, and spectroscopy. The Terahertz Electronics program was divided into two major technical activities: Terahertz Transistor Electronics that included the development and demonstration of materials and processing technologies for solid-state transistors and integrated circuits for receivers and exciters that operate at THz frequencies; and Terahertz High Power Amplifier Modules that included the development and demonstration of vacuum electronic traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifiers for high power amplification of THz signals.
