Summary:
This talk will highlight a few enabling technologies we have been investigating to support advancement of communication systems above mm-wave frequencies and bio-labels for nanomedicine. For communications, design concepts to make virtual antennas with high gain and high directivity as well as vertical free-space interconnects for 3D integration will be discussed. Copper nanowire technology will also be described for low-loss vertical interconnects. For nanomedicine, the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency in magnetic nanowire is described to form FMR-ID nanolabels that can be used as bio-markers in cancer detection.
