新加坡科技研究局张婕研究员讲座

Advances in Printed Electronics

主讲人 : Dr. Jie Zhang

Printed and organic electronics, an emerging clean-tech electronics technology leveraging the solution   d  functional  materials  and  optimized  high-throughput  printing  process,  is expected to offer significantly low manufacturing cost, salient device structural characteristics, and environmental benefits. It would open up potential markets where the traditional silicon d electronics are incapable of responding to.

Current key activities are to address the present technology and engineering gaps in functional materials,  devices  and  processes  to  enable  the  lab-to-fab  transition  through  the  printed  and organic  electronics  value  chain,  i.e.  from  high  performance  functional  material  development (synthesis  and  scale-up),  process  engineering  (for  solution-processable  material  systems  and product specifications), to technology demonstration (system integration for prototyping).

This  presentation  will  summarize  the  recent  advancements  in  solution  processable  functional materials  systems,  device  physics,  and  fabrication  techniques.  This  technology  complements conventional  technologies  by  offering  low-cost  and  large-area  attributes  that  are  highly desirable  for  ubiquitous  sensing  electronics,  energy  harvesting  and  storage,  and  flexible displays.

主讲人简介：

Jie Zhang received the B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Chongqing University (China), and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago (USA). She is Vice President and R&D Director of Changzhou Institute of Printed Electronics Industry Pte Lid. The Institute is focused on printed electronics value chain platform development for PE technology commercialization. Dr Zhang was a Senior Scientist and Program Manager of the Institute of Material Research and Engineering at A*STAR in Singapore. She manages PV, Printed Electronics, and Advanced Energy Storage programs to develop advance material system, device fabrication and characterization, and prototype capabilities. Previously at Motorola, she was Principal Staff Engineer and managed core technology group for the large area electronics technology and commercialization. She led the team fabricated the world’s first all printed logical circuits in 2004 and produced the first all-printed active matrix flexible display module using conventional graphic arts printing technologies in 2008. She also has extended experience in advanced microelectronics package process and reliability evaluation for wireless communication devices.

Dr. Zhang has received 19 US patents and published over 70 peer-review papers in the SCI journals. She has co-edited the first book of Printed Organic and Molecular Electronics. She is actively organizing printed electronics conferences and workshops, and frequently been invited to present at international conferences.
