Technology WantedMaking Bigger Electronic Wafers: MacroelectronicsDescription:While electronics tends to go small, macroelectronics deals with integrated circuits bigger than semiconductor wafers. These big circuits find use in flat panel large displays and medical X-ray sensors. Advanced macroelectronic technology based on transistor backplanes made on flexible, shapeable, and elastic materials will find use in skin sensors and e-textiles and will serve as human/machine interfaces. These products made by thin film techniques are fascinating scientific challenges by themselves. Technology #299 Date posted: 2008-11-25 |
