Pilot Line - 13
Large smart surface for industrial scale-up
- Application: Packaging
- Development: Processing
Current status
CEA Structural and Printed Electronics facilities are dedicated to the development and characterization of smart surfaces/objects embedding electronic functionalities, such as printed/stretchable/flexible antennas/filters, sensors, actuators, organic TFT-circuits (e.g., gate drivers), piezoelectric energy harvesters as well as SMD (surface mount devices), bare die and LEDs.
The facilities are operated by a team of 45 engineers and technicians and are open to industrial partners, especially SMEs and start-ups, to scale up and characterize printed devices from laboratory level to product prototypes.
Challenge
Key Resources :
- Great experience in the field of printed electronic.
- Large set of printing, post-processing and characterization equipment allowing to test a large variety of new products, materials and manufacturing processes at an affordable cost prior to industrial scale-up.
- Know-how of the people working in the pilot line.
Further development
Benefits for companies and SME’s
The possibility to realize prototypes and studies using a large set of printing and characterization equipments prior to an industrial scale up.
Other benefits: Industrial transfer of printed electronic functions and related technologies, Research and Development services in the field of printed electronics and Training of future pilot line operators.
