The Chip Printers - Integrated Circuits Made of Plastic
User rating: 3 / 5 after 2 vote(s)
The PolyIC company has taken a giant step toward realizing the mass production of RFID chips made of plastic: The developers have created the
world’s fastest (600 kilohertz) integrated circuit made of organic material. What’s more, they have succeeded in using printing techniques to produce highly stable circuits made of polymers, something no other group of researchers in the world has achieved, according to information released by PolyIC. The distance between the two conductors is less than 50 micrometers, about as thin as a human hair. These chips even function after being stored for two days at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius and at 100 percent humidity, and will continue to work until temperatures climb above 120 degrees Celsius.
