PROJECT DETAILS:

The market for next-generation, flexible and stretchable fill factor electronic devices is trending towards growth compared to traditional platforms (crystalline wafers).

In this context, various types of sensors integrated into electronic systems choose to grow towards flexible fill factors. Printable organic electronic devices are emerging as very promising solutions, offering electrical and optical properties that can be enhanced by an adjustable chemical functionality designed to detect specific signals.

However, there remains a significant practical challenge that lies in the integration of organic semiconductors with metal electrodes into printable microelectronic devices. This project aims to reveal this challenge by focusing on the expertise in tow high-tech enterprises specializing in printable microelectrodes and organic semi-conductors (1-Material), as well as on tow academic groups with expertise in organic electronic materials (McGill U) and integration of electronic devices (Gachon U).

Together, this interdisciplinary collaboration proposes to develop an advanced sensor system based on a 1-transistor microelectrode array – 1 diode (1T-1D) using printable optoelectronic materials specifically designed to act as 1T-1D High-performance sensor, offering high-precision optical detection.
