Multi-project wafers for flexible thin-film electronics by independent foundries

by

This work demonstrates the foundry model for flexible TFT technologies by designing the iconic 6502 microprocessor directly in two independent foundries—wafer-based and plate-based. The first TFT technology is based on a 200-mm round wafer approach of Pragmatic offering 0.8 µm IGZO transistors with extra metallization layers to enable higher density routing. The 6502 chip was a … Read more
