THESIS DEFENSE of Martin VIDAL - June 17, 2026

Martin VIDAL will defend his thesis on June 17, 2026 at 10:00 am in the amphitheater JP DOM of the IMS Laboratory, on the subject: “Architecture and design of integrated circuits in 22 nm CMOS technology for millimeter V-band wireless interfacing applications”.

This thesis pioneers a 60 GHz CMOS receiver architecture designed to replace wired USB 3.2 connections with robust wireless links. Targeting 10 Gb/s with ultra-low latency and a stringent BER (1012), the work bridges system requirements and silicon implementation. The core innovation is a reconfigurable Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) featuring a novel ‘zero-coupling’ stacked inductor technique, fabricated and validated in 22 nm FDSOI technology. Combined with a hierarchical system-level validation of the full front-end chain, the study demonstrates the feasibility of a compact (0.14 mm²), high-performance wireless interface, paving the way for seamless cable-free interconnects in next-generation electronics.
