Abstract
Aim: Further to our reports on chip-integrable uncooled terahertz microbolometer arrays, compatible with medium-scale semiconductor device fabrication processes, the possibility of the development of chip-integrable medical device is proposed here. Methods: The concept of graphene-based nanopatch antennas with design optimization by the finite element method (FEM) is explored. The high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) utilized fine FEM solver for analyzing empirical mode decomposition preprocessing and for modeling and simulating graphene antennas. Results: Graphene nanopatch antennas exhibited tunable features with varying patch dimensions and dependence on substrate material permittivity. Conclusion: This work implements reconfigurable graphene nanopatch antenna compatible with terahertz microbolometer arrays. This design concept further develops on-chip medical devices for possible screening of cancer cell with terahertz image processing.
