“…[1][2][3][4][5] Such vision has begun to show concrete potential through a variety of proofof-concept demonstrations, among which are programmable logic circuitry for flexible displays, [6] transferrable electronics for pharmaceutics, [7] healthcare sensors for brainwave detection [8] or pulse oximetry, [9] fully printed washable electronics on fabrics, [10] and imperceptible logic circuitry on ultrathin substrates for intelligent electronic skin. This promise stemmed from the prospect of utilizing printing tools derived from well-established graphical arts technologies to deposit a variety of functional materials, which exhibit a suitable combination of mechanical and electronic properties.…”

Organic printed electronics are suitable for the development of wearable, lightweight, distributed applications in combination with cost‐effective production processes. Nonetheless, some necessary features for several envisioned disruptive mass‐produced products are still lacking: among these radio‐frequency (RF) communication capability, which requires high operational speed combined with low supply voltage in electronic devices processed on cheap plastic foils. Here, it is demonstrated that high‐frequency, low‐voltage, polymer field‐effect transistors can be fabricated on plastic with the sole use of a combination of scalable printing and digital laser‐based techniques. These devices reach an operational frequency in excess of 1 MHz at the challengingly low bias voltage of 2 V, and exceed 14 MHz operation at 7 V. In addition, when integrated into a rectifying circuit, they can provide a DC voltage at an input frequency of 13.56 MHz, opening the way for the implementation of RF devices and tags with cost‐effective production processes.

“…Some of the other factors that are considered while developing printed electronics include scalable, environmentally friendly and mechanically enhanced devices. The mass production of low-cost materials like plastics and organic substrates would also lead to a wider range of applications [184]. For example, the concept of quantum dots, where the semiconducting nanocrystals were tuned for the emission of light based on their resonating wavelength, had been exploited to develop three-dimensional (3D) printed light emitting diodes (LEDs) [185].…”

Abstract-The paper provides a review on some of the significant research work done on wearable flexible sensors (WFS). Sensors fabricated with flexible materials have been attached to a person along with the embedded system to monitor a parameter and transfer the significant data to the monitoring unit for further analyses. The use of wearable sensors has played a quite important role to monitor physiological parameters of a person to minimize any malfunctioning happening in the body. The paper categorizes the work according to the materials used for designing the system, the network protocols and different types of activities that were being monitored. The challenges faced by the current sensing systems and future opportunities for the wearable flexible sensors regarding its market values are also briefly explained in the paper.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Currently, most of the devices in PE are based on organic materials; stateof-the-art printed field-effect transistors (FETs) consist of lithographically structured or printed electrodes and a printed organic semiconducting channel. Therefore, the research area of printed electronics (PE) is growing rapidly since the realization of the first complex circuits in the late 1990s.…”

Progress Report on “From Printed Electrolyte‐Gated Metal‐Oxide Devices to Circuits”

Printed electrolyte‐gated oxide electronics is an emerging electronic technology in the low voltage regime (≤1 V). Whereas in the past mainly dielectrics have been used for gating the transistors, many recent approaches employ the advantages of solution processable, solid polymer electrolytes, or ion gels that provide high gate capacitances produced by a Helmholtz double layer, allowing for low‐voltage operation. Herein, with special focus on work performed at KIT recent advances in building electronic circuits based on indium oxide, n‐type electrolyte‐gated field‐effect transistors (EGFETs) are reviewed. When integrated into ring oscillator circuits a digital performance ranging from 250 Hz at 1 V up to 1 kHz is achieved. Sequential circuits such as memory cells are also demonstrated. More complex circuits are feasible but remain challenging also because of the high variability of the printed devices. However, the device inherent variability can be even exploited in security circuits such as physically unclonable functions (PUFs), which output a reliable and unique, device specific, digital response signal. As an overall advantage of the technology all the presented circuits can operate at very low supply voltages (0.6 V), which is crucial for low‐power printed electronics applications.
