“…In designing of a solid-state plasma S-PIN diode, a critical consideration is whether the carrier concentration within the plasma region can reach 10 18 cm −3 under forward bias voltage. Several simulations and parameter optimizations have been conducted regarding the carrier concentration and I-V characteristics of the S-PIN diode structure [21][22][23][24][25]. Based on the research presented in these studies, it can be conclusively determined that highly resistive floating zone (FZ) silicon wafers are unsuitable for the fabrication of S-PIN diodes.…”

This article examines the feasibility of integrating solid-state plasma surface p-i-n (S-PIN) diodes into on-chip slots using silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. Two categories of solid-state plasma S-PIN diodes are characterized. Simulations analyze the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, carrier concentrations, potential distribution, and thermal considerations of both single and dual S-PIN diodes, with optimization of their structural parameters and sizes. Experimental tests on fabricated S-PIN diodes of varying sizes with bias lines embedded in the on-chip slots show favorable I-V characteristics for both types of diodes. The measured results closely align with simulation predictions for the diodes' conduction onset voltages. Additionally, a cavity-backed slot antenna (CBSA) is proposed to evaluate and compare radiation characteristics resulting from integrating different types of S-PIN diodes.

“…With the rapid development of the information technology and the continuous progress of the electronic reconnaissance means, there is a tremendous effort to dramatically change the antenna characteristics, such as dynamic reconfiguration and stealth [1,2]. The antenna with reconfigurable can be dynamically modified to enable different functions at different times, which increase their capabilities, expand their functionality, and widen their operating bandwidths [3,4,5].…”

This paper proposed an innovative reconfigurable antenna concept based on the dynamic definition of metal-like conductive plasma in high-resistivity silicon that are activated by the injection of dc current. Based on investigations of the solid-state plasma characteristics, the metallic properties of solid plasma were verified. And a demonstration prototype solid-state plasma frequency reconfigurable antenna containing 36 SPiN diodes was designed, fabricated, and tested. This antenna can work at three different states by turning SPiN diodes on or off selectively, in turn, working at the desired frequency state. The results show that this type of antenna posseses the unique characteristics compared with the conventional one.
