Briefing
  • Transfer Printing – Purdue University and University of Virginia researchers developed new fabrication method, called transfer printing, for creating thin-film, sticker-like electronic circuits
  • Highly Scalable – Multiple thin-film electronic circuits can be fabricated from single silicon wafer, instead of using individual wafers for each circuit
  • Peelable – Ductile metal layer, such as nickel, placed between electronic film and silicon wafer enables electronic circuit to peel with water
  • Applications – Electronic sticker can be applied to any object for sensing environment or controlling object
