Abstract

We have designed an integrated device that couples input and output coaxial horn antennas with a self-assembled helical slow-wave structure cradled in a v-groove on a silicon-on-insulator wafer. These devices will potentially enable the characterization of cold parameters and beam-wave interaction in slow-wave structures on a wafer level, i.e., without having to dice and package individual devices. In addition, such vertically integrated antennas and helical slow-wave structures may form the basis of compact and low-cost traveling-wave tube amplifiers operating at THz frequencies.
