HIgh-resolution, Printing-Based Patterning and PHOTOnic SINTERing for High-Speed, Low-Voltage Metal-Oxide Thin Film Transistors (HI-PHOTO-SINTER)

TAU and VTT’s consortium will advance low-power, high-speed flexible electronics. In WP1, TAU will explore novel material processing of high-κ dielectrics and high mobility metal-oxide channel semiconductors atop soft substrates, while in WP2, VTT will advance reverse offset printing to enable reduced gate lengths with minimal gate overlap. Together, in WP3, they will realize a print-defined high-frequency amplifier.

Benefits: 1) Low-cost, ultra-low power autonomous soft electronic wearable sensor systems; and 2) Advanced high-κ dielectrics and metal-oxide semiconductors compatible with a limited processing thermal budget.

One full-time postdoctoral researcher will be directly supported at TAU and two staff scientists at VTT, along with international scientific visitations.
