NANOPOLY proposes a ground-breaking yet cost effective method to extend our control over impedance and parasitic
phenomena in monolithic circuit components by independently tuning electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of the
integrated layers to values far beyond what nature can provide. This approach will re-define all components used in existing
analogue circuit design regardless of technology. NANOPOLY will implement this concept on existing technology such as
SiGe and will also employ novel two dimensional materials characterized by high mobility in order to complement minimal
thickness and transferability with impedance engineering obtaining unprecedented performance of electronic components.
This scheme, i.e. the meta-layers complemented with 2D materials aims at providing an entirely novel concept that of metaelectronics
that promise a nano sized circuit platform with a new performance envelope, useful in all future analogue
applications such as miniaturized consumer electronics, health monitoring, high-end THz applications e.t.c. As a proof of
concept, NANOPOLY will develop a new technological platform, the associated software tool-kit and re-define the existing
paradigm of analogue electronic integrated circuits regardless of material family. NANOPOLY will also create i) a set of
components and their models exhibiting minimal cross talk and reduced footprint for use in high density analogue design of
miniaturized RF circuits, ii) a proof of concept mmWave, 2D material based Rx/Tx (emitting / receiving) module including the
antenna with a total footprint of λ/2 and state of the art performance and iii) A THz range SiGe based Rx/Tx module with
improved performance to showcase the broad applicability of the proposed technology.
