Image transfer, also known as photolithography (or simply, lithography), plays a crucial role in defining the circuit patterns on a panel. With photolithography, IC substrate manufacturers can ...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS or silicone) is an important and versatile material used in the field of printed electronics (PE). In particular, thin film layers of PDMS show great promise for use in ...

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11751327B2) describes an electrically conductive film for a cell contacting unit in a battery. The film consists of an electrically nonconductive ...

The slow-wave effect hampers signal transmission on some on-chip MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) interconnections. On such interconnections, the substrate resistance adds substantially to the ...

The team shows that small cracks in a device’s electrode layer can drive deeper, more destructive cracks into the tougher polymer substrate layer on which the electrodes sit. According to Brown, the ...
