HETEROGENEOUS MATERIAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL PLATFORM FOR A NEW DOMAIN OF POWER NANOELECTRONICS (NANOMAT)

柔性电子学已经存在了几十年，是需要弯曲、滚动、折叠和拉伸的应用中的电子设备的基础，这些特性是传统电子学无法实现的。然而，它们的发射功率水平仅在500 mW的范围内，而且目前还没有灵活的技术可以满足即将到来的需求，如航空电子雷达的共形天线和卫星物联网的轻质柔性天线，这些天线要求功率水平接近或超过10W。NANOMAT通过开创“柔性功率射频纳米电子学”的新领域来填补这一新兴的技术空白。一个创新的异质技术平台，包括碳基电子和热电、宽禁带半导体MMIC、RFMEMS和声学传感器领域的材料和制造新颖性，将提供灵活的元件和电路。这一概念将通过两个不断升级的创新和复杂性原型来展示，首先是Ka频段卫星物联网的灵活混合概念验证，然后是X频段下一代航空电子雷达的全单片灵活功率射频收发器。NANOMAT财团由来自9个欧洲国家的12个合作伙伴组成，地理分布广泛。财团中有一半是工业实体，其中一个是主要的全球参与者，其余的是有活力的新成立或成熟的中小企业，因此这是一个工业驱动的命题。从半导体材料生长到工艺和元器件制造，从电磁和多尺度物理模拟到系统工程，从机器学习到循环性和可持续性，它具有很强的跨学科特征。所提出的挑战，要求财团使用最先进的表征方法，但也要改进它们，并在这个项目需要时创造新的方法。启动TRL 3和开始TRL5。无公开描述

Flexible electronics have been around for several decades and are the basis for electronic devices in applications that require bending, rolling, folding, and stretching, properties that cannot be fulfilled by conventional electronics. However, their emitted power levels are only in the range of up to 500mW and there is no current flexible technology that can satisfy upcoming needs like conformal antenna for avionic radars and light weight flexible antenna for satellite IoT that require power levels approaching or exceeding 10W. NANOMAT comes to fill in this emerging technological gap through the inauguration of the new domain of “Flexible power RF nanoelectronics”. An innovative heterogeneous technological platform comprising material and fabrication novelties in carbon-based electronics and thermoelectric, wide band gap semiconductor based MMICs, RF MEMS and acoustic sensors will deliver flexible components and circuits. The concept will be demonstrated through two prototypes of escalating innovation and complexity, starting from a flexible hybrid proof of concept for satellite IoT at Ka-band and climaxing with a fully monolithic flexible power RF transceiver for next generation avionic radars at X-band. The NANOMAT consortium is made up from 12 partners from 9 European countries with a wide geographical spread. Half of the consortium are industrial entities, one a major global player and the rest dynamic upcoming or established SMEs thus it is an industrially driven proposition. It has strong interdisciplinary character from semiconducting material growth to technology and component fabrication and from electromagnetic and multi-scale physics simulation to system engineering and from machine learning to circularity and sustainability. The challenges posed, demand that the consortium works with state-of-the-art characterization methods but also improves them and create new ones when the need arises in this project.
