Abstract

This paper presents development of Carbon Nanotube based inductors for integrated biosensor applications. Inductors are highly common in RF circuit applications; however, their values and Q factors are limited for today´s high-performance RF applications. We describe the design, simulation, and fabrication of Multiwall Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) based RF inductors, which provide high inductance and Q values that are suitable for wireless integrated biosensors.
