Integrated Magnetics and Magnetoelectrics for Sensing, Power, RF, and Microwave Electronics

Abstract

As the rapid development of integrated magnetic and magnetoelectric, numerous novel devices including high performance on-chip transformers, inductors, filters, antennas, and sensors with unique advantages in power efficiency, size and tunability, etc. have been demonstrated. In this review, an overview of the development of magnetism and magnetoelectric will be firstly given. The conceptual illustration and materials used in integrated magnetoelectric will then be presented. Selections of on-chip devices from literatures will be shown to exemplify the integrated magnetic and magnetoelectric applications. Finally, the prospect and the direction of the future research will be discussed in the conclusion.INDEX TERMS Magnetic, magnetoelectric, integrated devices, high frequency, sensing.This article has been accepted for inclusion in a future issue of this journal. Content is final as presented, with the exception of pagination.

The Field of Microwave Magnetics [From the Guest Editor’s Desk]

“…Seven decades after these initial developments, a relatively small but dedicated community within the MTT-S continues to advance and develop these types of technologies that supplement and complement recent promising efforts to use parametric switching to realize nonreciprocal circuit responses [7]. This work is driven by desires for improved interference mitigation and simultaneous transmit and receive [8]; miniaturized and tunable passives and sensors [9], [10]; and integration with other technologies, such as integrated circuits and antennas [11]. At the same time, improvements in material synthesis and integration techniques have enabled devices that operate at higher frequencies and allow integration with electronics [12], [13].…”
