New Shapes in Perspective for Future RF/mmW Integrated Technology
New Shapes in Perspective for Future RF/mmW Integrated Technology
The talk explores innovative methodologies in the design of passive devices for integrated circuits (ICs), focusing on sub-100GHz and above-100GHz millimeter-wave (mmW) integration. A key focus is the inverse design concept, which contrasts traditional design approaches by starting with desired outcomes and working backward to determine optimal initial parameters. This methodology leverages optimization algorithms and high-fidelity simulations to achieve precise, efficient, and innovative solutions. Despite its benefits, inverse design presents challenges, including complexity, model accuracy, and compatibility with existing IC tools. The presentation concludes with open questions about the adoption of inverse design in the industry, addressing issues such as patentability, manufacturability, and the need for trained engineers.
