Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

Flexible Electronics has been one of the fastest developing technologies in recent decades. The traditional path is electronic components such as silicon chips integrated onto flexible substrates called “hybrid integration” or “flexible hybrid electronics”. We believe that this approach is not a viable long-term solution for high-volume, low-cost and conformable integrated smart systems.

Our vision is an integrated smart system that is built with only flexible electronic components including analogue circuitry, digital logic and memories. We call such a system a “Natively Flexible Integrated Smart System” or NFISS. NFISSes will enable new products in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods and mass-market healthcare segments that have not been possible before because conventional silicon chips are too costly, too bulky and not conformable. This will be delivered with 100-1000x reduction in the environmental footprint.

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

The developments will include the whole value chain - Hybrid Complementary Low power TFT technology and supporting production process, building blocks (SRAM etc), the first FlexMCU where the instruction set can be configured for a specific domain and application, new assembly processes for fully flexible ICs and finally proof of concept validation in two healthcare validators.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

The results will be a significant advance on the state of the art, with the resulys enabling Natively Flexible Integrated Smart Systems, which will open up a huge range of new and low cost systems. Just as game changing is that the setup costs are much lower than silicon developments, enabling new applications, especially from innovative SMEs to bridge the gap from "proof of concept" to production - the so-called "valley of death" where the costs to go to production are one of the biggest barriers.
