摘要
Welcome to the inaugral issue of Semiconductor Science and Information Devices.It is expected that future telecommunication networks(5G and beyond)will host not only humans but also machines in the form of Internet of Things(IoT).Therefore,there is a growing demand for increased data rates,of the order of tens of gigabits per second for each device for streaming 8K video,latencies of less than one millisecond for autonomous driving and remote surgeries,increased device density over a square kilometer,millimeter wave frequencies(carrier frequencies in excess of 100 gigahertz)and last but not the least,having a large number of antennas on each device,in the form of massive multiple input and multiple output(MIMO)for the purpose of spatial multiplexing and increased data-rates.
