Roll-process technology for flexible electronics

"Ready-to-Roll" Boxcar Development - a Flexible, Quality-Weighted Process

In January of 1996, Intuit’s QuickBooks team was faced with an aging code-base using a custom Mac/Win GUI toolkit, a large and rapidly growing customer base, and a rapidly growing and product-inexperienced engineering team. To increase the product’s quality and feature predictability while retaining its ship date rigidity, we created “Ready-to-Roll” Boxcar Development. The process enabled the d...

Development of the Basis for in Process Metrology for Roll to Roll Production of Flexible Photo Voltaics

This paper reports on the recent work carried out as part of the EU funded NanoMend project. The project seeks to develop integrated process inspection, cleaning, repair and control systems for thin films on flexible PV films. based on CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide CuInxGa (1-x)Se2). These films are fabricated on polymer film by the repeated deposition, and patterning, of thin layer mate...

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...

Mechanical Issues for Flexible Electronics

Architectural Design of Flexible Process Management Technology

To provide effective support, process-aware information systems (PAIS) must not freeze existing business processes. Instead they should enable authorized users to deviate on-the-fly from the implemented processes and to dynamically evolve them over time. While there has been a lot of work on the theoretical foundations of dynamic process changes, there is still a lack of PAIS implementing this ...
