In the last decade fractals from an area of interest restricted for theoreticians and artistically-oriented members of academic communities came to many spectacular applications.
This lecture presents an overview of basic geometric concepts of fractal geometry and space-filling-curves.
Further a number of examples of very advanced applications in microelectronic circuits will be presented.
These applications show enhancement of properties of microelectronic circuits through construction of new geometric structures e.g. in biosensors, fractal electrodes, fractal antenna, solar cells and super-capacitors, etc.
Properties of geometric structures exhibiting unusual geometries indicate their applicability in ever growing miniaturization
(nano-structures) and frequency of operation (TeraHz range).
Fractal theories apart from bringing ideas to non-conventional geometric constructions provide also useful tools for analysis of micro-system operation in the extreme conditions in the nano and tera range when standard macroscopic physical laws and circuit-theoretic approaches (such as eg. the Ohm's law) are not applicable any more.
