US researchers have made on-chip inductors smaller by adding ‘kinetic inductance’ to conventional magnetic inductance. The work cuts the size of 10-50GHz inductors by a third. Kinetic inductance arises from the physical momentum of charge carriers resisting the change in current direction associated with a change in electric field, according to the team, from the ...
