Modern integrated and system-on-chip electronics require high-quality on-chip passive components. Existing inductor designs for microwave and millimetre-wave applications are typically prohibitively large and have low quality factors, requiring circuit designers to avoid integrating them or to...

Dangling Bonds (DBs) on the silicon surface exist when a silicon atom lacks a bonding partner, resulting in a localized orbital which is not involved in any chemical bonds. On the hydrogen-terminated Si(100) surface, such DBs introduce a mid-gap state. DBs can be created on this surface by the...
