New Plastics Can Speed Flexible Printed Electronics Development
By Tony Flaim - 18 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Substrates play a huge role when designing any type of device, including printed and flexible electronics. From its compatibility with your printing process or with the inks and materials you’re using, to its thermal properties, the choice of substrate can have a significant impact on the effectiveness and manufacturability of your product. However, substrate material capabilities tend to ... » read more

Making Chip Packaging Simpler
By Ed Sperling and Mark LaPedus - 21 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 1

Packaging is emerging as one of the most critical elements in semiconductor design, but it's also proving difficult to master both technically and economically. The original role of packaging was simply to protect the chips inside, and there are still packages that do just that. But at advanced nodes, and with the integration of heterogeneous components built using different manufacturing pr... » read more

The Growing Promise Of Printed Electronics
By Ed Sperling - 10 Dec, 2018 - Comments: 1

Printing electronics using conductive ink rather than lithography is starting to move out of the research phase, with chipmakers now looking at how to commercialize this technology across a broad range of sensor applications. Unlike traditional semiconductors, which use tiny wires as circuits, printed electronics rely on conductive inks and often flexible films, although they can be printed ... » read more

Brewer Science’s Dominic Miranda digs into printed electronics, why they’re becoming so important, what materials should be used, and how they can be targeted for specific applications in sensors and edge devices. https://youtu.be/tN2goxrDCqA » read more

The 3D Printing Revolution
By Ed Sperling - 24 May, 2018 - Comments: 1

3D printing always has been intriguing. More recently, it has become truly useful. And in the near future, it will become increasingly controversial. There are videos on YouTube documenting entire homes that are being printed in as little as 8 hours, priced as low as $4,000. So while there is a lot of buzz about AI eliminating jobs, 3D printing could add become another significant threat. ... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: Jan. 9
By Jesse Allen - 09 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Eel-inspired power Researchers at the University of Michigan, the University of Fribourg, and the University of California-San Diego developed soft power cells with the potential to power implanted medical devices. Made of hydrogel and salt, the soft cells form the first potentially biocompatible artificial electric organ that generates more than 100 volts at a low current, the team says, enou... » read more

Flexible Devices Drive New IoT Apps
By Jeff Dorsch - 03 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 1

Printed and flexible electronics are becoming almost synonymous with many emerging applications in the IoT, and as the technologies progress so do the markets that rely on those technologies. Flexible [getkc id="187" kc_name="sensors"] factor into a number of [getkc id="76" kc_name="IoT"] use cases such as agriculture, health care, and structural health monitoring. Other types of flexible de... » read more

System Bits: Oct. 20
By Ann Mutschler - 20 Oct, 2015 - Comments: 0

Automating big-data analysis Until now, big-data analysis consisted of searching for buried patterns that had some kind of predictive power but picking which “features” of the data to analyze usually required some human intuition. Now, however, MIT researchers are aiming to take the human element out of big-data analysis with a new system that they say not only searches for patterns but... » read more

Printed Electronics Gets Serious About Manufacturing
By Michael Watts - 23 Jan, 2014 - Comments: 0

A leading indicator in the coming-of-age saga of a new technology is the enthusiasm to be in the business of supplying manufacturing infrastructure. To sell infrastructure, there needs to be a belief that there are several customers out there. At the recent IDTech conference for printed electronics, the transition to manufacturing was clear based on those who presented and some notable absences... » read more

How to Print an Electron
By Michael Watts - 30 Aug, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Michael P.C. Watts Printed electronics does not involve printing electrons, but you get the idea. Every start up and corporate research group have their own version of printed electronics using different semiconductors, dielectrics or metallization strategy. As usual, I like to focus on patterning. There are 4 patterning strategies, conventional resists and imaging, imprint, flexograph... » read more
