Direct imprinting of liquid silicon

Masuda T., Shimoda T., Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, JP

Silicon is one of the most important materials for electronics. The most widespread process for microfabrication technology of silicon is photolithography including etching process. However, huge capital outlay and large-scale equipment has been recognized as [...]

Printed Gas Sensors for the Trillion Sensor Universe

Stetter E.F., Stetter J.R., Stetter E.F., Stetter J.R., Findlay M., Patel V., KWJ Engineering Inc. & SPEC Sensors LLC, US

Estimates predict that within a few years, we will need trillions of sensors to match the global development of wireless communications and computation. Chemical and gas sensors are an integral part of this need for [...]

Thin film transistors with printed semiconductive oxide channel and silver source-drain electrodes

Chen Z., Cui Z., Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bonic, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

In order to make all-printed thin-film transistors, the key issue such as the interfacing effect between printed electrodes and printed semiconductive channel layer has to be solved.In this study, thin film transistors were fabricated by [...]

Rectifying properties of printed hybrid organic/inorganic diode on a flexible substrate

Lin J., Cui Z., Suzhou Institute of Nanotech, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

Printing as an additive fabrication method has in recent years attracted a great deal of attentions both in research community and industrial sectors, because of its low-cost and the capability of manufacturing electronic devices on [...]
