Circuit design on plastic foils

This book illustrates a variety of circuit designs on plastic foils and provides all the information needed to undertake successful designs in large-area electronics. The authors demonstrate architectural, circuit, layout, and device solutions and explain the reasons and the creative process behind each. Readers will learn how to keep under control large-area technologies and achieve robust, reliable circuit designs that can face the challenges imposed by low-cost low-temperature high-throughput manufacturing. ? Discusses implications of problems associated with large-area electronics and compares them to standard silicon; ? Provides the basis for understanding physics and modeling of disordered material; ? Includes guidelines to quickly setup the basic CAD tools enabling efficient and reliable designs; ? Illustrates practical solutions to cope with hard/soft faults, variability, mismatch, aging and bias stress at architecture, circuit, layout, and device levels.?
