Abstract

Modern communication world demands compact, miniaturized, and tunable circuits on a single IC chip. Past few decades observed the potentiality of silicon for Very Large- or ultra Large-Scale Integrated Circuit (VLSI/ULSI) applications. Now, cutting-edge technology is targeting silicon as a potential candidate for RF/microwave applications.
