Thin-film IC design
Info
We develop innovative thin-film flexible electronics, a new family of electronic devices primarily made of plastics.
Thin-film technology enables very small devices. Device dimensions of only a few micrometers in thickness mean technology that is flexible and transparent, ideal for ubiquitous electronic devices in every-day devices. Using novel materials and large-area manufacturing processes also allows for inexpensive manufacturing in large quantities.
With this research we are paving the way to a world of affordable electronics, seamlessly applied and attached to a variety of objects such as bottles, food, clothes and so much more.
