Circuit Design Challenges for Terahertz Applications in CMOS Technology

Integrated circuits in silicon technologies have reshaped the terahertz field by deploying cost-effective and highly integrated systems in the recent years . The short-wavelength at these frequencies makes it possible to directly integrate terahertz antennas on a chip. In combination with the large available bandwidth from 0.3-3THz this would enable high-speed communication and high-resolution imaging. However, there are many challenges that need to be addressed to achieve such a goal. The radiated terahertz power and bandwidth from silicon devices are still limited, and the sensitivity of terahertz receivers can be further improved. This presentation will focus on the design challenges of terahertz signal generation and detection well beyond silicon device limitations. It will cover the recent circuit realization in CMOS technology and novel generation and detection techniques.

In this presentation, I will discuss the fundamentals of LIDAR sensors and how the sensor components, laser, detector, optics, and electronics influence sensor parameters such as range, range resolution, and range accuracy. Furthermore, I will discuss flash LIDAR and scanning LIDAR technologies and their merits and limitations in different applications. Finally, I will discuss the next generation chip-scale LIDAR sensors that can potentially make LIDAR sensors ubiquitous.
