P and n transistors etched onto plastic

Anis Daami, a French scientist working at the CEA in Grenoble has outlined a method of printing transistors on plastic. This process allows more transistors to burn p-type or n, contrary to the processor and the DRAM in which we talk about our current research: the processor is plastic that employ only p-type transistors Mr.

Daami showed a series of chips on a sheet of plastic 380 x 320 mm etched by laser ablation. Very roughly, it uses a pulsed laser to remove material and burn the desired patterns. The chips were on display channels 20 microns wide, but the scientist says it is possible to increase the sharpness.

Chips, a relatively simple architecture, were functional at room temperature under normal conditions of use, which represents a world first. Until now, these transistors only work in a very special environment in the laboratory.
