AbstractIn this ASCENT project, the team aims to develop a set of semiconductor technologies, including new device fabrication, large-scale heterogeneous integration, and robust beam-alignment system architectures, to achieve electrically controlled collimation of electromagnetic waves in sub-terahertz (sub-THz) frequency bands at low cost. Compared to the existing 5G wireless bands below 100 GHz, the sub-THz bands offer unprecedented wide bandwidth that can enable ultra-fast data rate for data center n
