Project

Integrated circuits based on flexible thin-film transistors have received lots of attention due to recent progress in literature and the pioneering aspect of multi-project wafers with thin-film transistor foundries. The targeted semiconductor is Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) from the UK-based foundry Pragmatic. IGZO is attractive due to a simple process flow and potential small channel lengths on flexible substrates. This PhD topic is part of the LOGICARE project that concentrates on low-power and secure flexible healthcare patches. The project starts from the observation that established assumptions ...
