Self-Rolled up On-Chip Transformer for Extreme Size Reduction and Performance Enhancement

Extreme Miniaturized 3D Spiral On-Chip Inductors, ...(TF13001) [1]

 

Inductors

Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a novel design of on-chip inductors using multiple turn microtubes based on stain-induced self-rolled-up nanotechnology. This technology would allow nearly 200x smaller footprint compared to conventional planar inductors while achieving significant performance improvements in all aspects.

Transformers

Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a novel design of on-chip transformers using multiple turn microtubes based on strain-induced, self-rolled-up nanotechnology. This design allows a nearly 12x smaller footprint compared to conventional planar transformers, while achieving significant performance improvements.

Transmission Lines

Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a novel design of on-chip transmission lines using multiple turn microtubes based on strain-induced, self-rolled-up nanotechnology. This design allows transmission lines to operate at Terahertz frequencies with significant performance improvements and reductions in interference and loss.
