Researchers at Bengaluru's JNCASR have designed a new silicon chip that could make future 6G networks much faster.
By letting terahertz waves move smoothly through circuit barriers with barely any signal loss, this chip could help shrink devices and speed up data transfers in a big way.
Triangular holes guide 310-360 GHz signals
The secret is a pattern of tiny triangular holes that guide signals with minimal loss, just 1% to 3% even at super-high frequencies (310 to 360 GHz).
The breakthrough has already been published in Advanced Materials, showing that the chip is compatible with established semiconductor manufacturing processes and could make it easier to translate the research into practical devices.
