IISc develops super flexible composite semiconductors for next-gen printed displays - Times of India

[ad_1] BENGALURU: Scientists at IISc ’s department of materials engineering (DME) have developed a super flexible, composite semiconductor material that can have possible applications in next-generation flexible or curved displays , foldable phones and wearable electronics . Traditional semiconductor devices — such as transistors, the building blocks of most electronic circuits — used in display industries are either made of amorphous silicon or amorphous oxides, both of which are not flexible and strain tolerant at all, IISc said in a statement. It added that adding polymers to oxide semiconductors may increase flexibility, but there’s a limit to how much can be added without compromising the semiconductor’s performance. “In the current study, published in Advanced Materials Technologies, researchers found a way to fabricate a composite containing a significant amount of polymer – up to 40% of the material weight – using a solution-process technique, specifically inkjet printin...
