Flexible electronics is a cutting-edge trend in microelectronics manufacturing that pushes the envelope of innovation.
Designing for flexibility presents unique challenges for new product development.
Every component used to build devices such as processors, memories, sensors, and antennas must provide flexibility.
How does it work and why is it a hybrid?
Printing of interconnects and some components open a new chapter in technology.
Welcome to the forefront of technology, where boundaries are being pushed and possibilities are limitless.
How are interconnections made?
However, it is not solid metal.
This requires a whole new range of products, which are flexible conductive inks.
This works like wires, but they are directly dispensed onto the surface and adhered to it.
Now the conductive lines follow the shape of the flexible substrate.
It redefines precision dispensing of nanomaterials.
Applications
There are broad prospects for applications in various industries, ranging from organic electronics and photovoltaics.
Additive manufacturing is opening the industry to opportunities for personalization like never before.
