In Situ Testing of Flexible Electronics

Electro-Mechanical Testing of Conductive Materials Used in Flexible Electronics

The use of flexible electronics has increased in recent years. In order to have robust and long lasting flexible displays and sensors, the combined electro-mechanical behavior needs to be assessed. The most common method to determine electrical and mechanical behavior of conductive thin films used in flexible electronics is the fragmentation test or uniaxial tensile straining of the film and su...

The Promise of Flexible Electronics

ICS AND SYSTEMS are no longer limited to servers, personal computers, or laptops. Instead, there is increasing demand and a growing market for embedded and ubiquitous systems such as displays, consumer electronics, smart sensors, and RFID tags. Flexible electronics on plastic substrates promises to pave the way for the next generation of low-cost and portable electronic systems that can benefit...

Inorganic Semiconductors for Flexible Electronics

Electronic systems that can cover large areas on flexible substrates have received increasing attention in the last couple of decades because they enable classes of applications that lie outside those easily addressed with wafer-based electronics. Examples include flexible displays, electronic textiles, sensory skins, and active antennas. This type of electronics, sometimes referred to as macro...
