Printed Polysilicon on Stretchable Substrate for Strain Sensor Applications

Over the past few years, post-surgery monitoring has become an important aspect of the patient’s healthcare in the modern clinical medicine. This kind of monitoring is done to examine various physical and chemical parameters, while considering any post-surgery complications. Therefore, the patient’s care is continued even after the surgical...

Solution-based polycrystalline silicon transistors produced on a paper substrate

Printing of electronics is pursued as a low-cost alternative to conventional manufacturing processes. In addition, owing to relatively low process temperatures, flexible substrates can be used enabling novel applications. Among flexible substrates, paper was found to be a particularly interesting candidate, since it has an order of magnitude...

Low Temperature Fabrication of SiO2 Films Using Liquid Silicon

In this study, a new fabrication method was implemented to convert liquid silicon into silicon dioxide films through non-vacuum and roll-to-roll compatible processes at low temperatures. The electrical characterization of SiO2 films made from liquid silicon was reported for the first time.

Single-Grain Silicon TFTs on a Plastic Substrate by Doctor Blade Coating of Cyclopentasilane

Liquid silicon is found as the material combining both the advantages of high quality silicon devices and the low cost solution processing method. Single-Grain Thin-Film Transistors can be produced by Excimer Laser Annealing of the resulting film and grain location control by the µ-Czochralski process. Other works have used spin-coating and...
