Abstract
We live in the age of information where electronics play critical role in our daily life. Moore’s Law: performance over cost has inspired innovation in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology enabled high performance, ultra-scaled CMOS electronics. Moving forward as Internet of Everything (IoE) seamlessly connects people, process, device and data – can CMOS technology be expanded further to achieve new features in CMOS electronics while maintaining and/or strengthening existing attributes? Will the functionalities over cost be advantageous? Can the existing applications be further strengthened and/or diversified? What potential applications may emerge?
To address these questions, I will discuss rational design of materials, processes and devices to develop robust manufacturing processes through heterogeneous integration of state-of-the-art CMOS technologies to transform conventional high performance but rigid CMOS electronics into fully compliant one; various printing techniques (inkjet for interconnects, 3D printing for encapsulation); electrochemical deposition (ECD) for through polymer via (TPV); automated transfer; Lego like lock and key assembly; non-functionalized household papers and other responsive materials based sensors and actuators, respectively and finally their roll-to-roll processing to achieve nature inspired fully compliant in-plane and out-of-plane CMOS electronics for emerging IoE applications.
