1.0 THz one-sided directional slot antenna on 45 nm SOI CMOS

Abstract

This paper presents a design of an one-sided directional slot antenna for 1THz frequency rage future telecommunication applications. The antenna was realized on the 45 nm SOI CMOS technology. The antenna was composed of the top antenna layer, thin dielectric inter layer and bottom floating metal layer. To enhance the bandwidth, 1⨯2 array antenna was designed which has 6.2 dBi antenna gain and 250GHz 3dB bandwidth at 1 THz in simulation.
