New technologies for contactless microsystems
François Vacherand · 2005
This paper presents some new emerging technological avenues for contactless chips in order to tackle emerging and demanding future specifications. Basically RFID chips will evolve towards new embedded functions such as power, sensing and security.Today, R&D works on future contactless Microsystems can be clustered into four main directions:• Silicon technologies for low power and non volatile memories• Contactless air interfaces• Embedded micro power sources• Embedded micro-sensors
