ISSCC2023: THz Cryo-CMOS Backscatter Transceiver

February 22, 2023

Our paper, “THz Cryo-CMOS Backscatter Transceiver: A Contactless 4 Kelvin-300 Kelvin Data Interface,” was presented by the first author Jinchen Wang. This paper presents a low-power THz cryoCMOS link to reduce the heat loss caused by conductive coaxial cables that interface between the 300K environment and the cryostat. This work is one of Prof. Ibrahim’s last projects at MIT. Other co-authors alongside Jinchen and Mohamed are Isaac B. Harris, Nathan M. Monroe, Muhammad I. W. Khan, Xiang Yi, Dirk R. Englund, and Ruonan Han.
