State of the art 200 GHz passive components and circuits integrated in advanced thin SOI CMOS technology on High Resistivity substrate

As the high-frequency capabilities of CMOS improve through scaling (Dambrine et al., 2005), increasing efforts have been carried out during the past years to evaluate the potential of CMOS technologies to address millimeter wave (MMW) applications. The 7 GHz unlicensed bandwidth around 60 GHz and 77 GHz vehicular radar one have focused many attention. In addition this paper demonstrates for the first time that CMOS technologies are able to address higher frequencies applications up to G band (140-220 GHz)
