| Abstract |
In this project, we propose to realize for the first time, a three dimensional (3D), homogeneous, isotropic Negative-Index-Material(3D-NIM) implementation which allows left-handed behavior for any direction of propagation and any polarization of the electromagnetic wave using micromachining, microfabrication and microassembly (MEMS) techniques with the aim of establishing a basis platform for massively parallel manufacturing of NIM. Besides having a passive metamaterial, integration of modulation mechanisms with lower metal losses will also be explored. This approach will provide a lower unit cost and large scale self-microassembly of 3D-NIM through further multi-layer substrate stacking or bonding. |
