Opportunities for the Printing Industry in Electronics: The Low Cost Semiconductor Fab of the Year 2012

Many organic field effect transistor (OFET) printing processes developed in the laboratory environment are not easily transferable to high-volume manufacturing. Studies are underway to assess the ability to manufacture organic electronics using off-the-shelf contact and non-contact printing platforms to fabricate OFETs using solution-processable organic semiconductor materials and traditional materials presently available and qualified for use in microelectronic products.
