Abstract

The terahertz wave is a very significant cross-frontier field. While the rapid progress on characteristic frequency of over-600GHz InP-based integrated circuit technology, it provides process foundation for solid-state terahertz circuits and system with high performance and high integration. The overview is made on the research progress of solid-state terahertz amplifiers, and the device modeling and de-embedding technique are also discussed. Finally, the progress and trend of terahertz monolithic integrated circuit (TMIC) technology in China is demonstrated.
