Speaker: Gregor Scheipl | Company: Joanneum Research | Date: 24-Jun-22 | Full Presentation Imprint lithography is a versatile technology for the replication of micro- and nanostructures. It is widely used in high-tech areas such as optics, electronics, photovoltaics, sensor technology, in the medical field ("lab-on-chip") or in surface finishing. As a European pioneer, JOANNEUM RESEARCH Forschungsgesellschaft mbH operates a roll2roll (R2R) UV coating and imprinting system since 2010 and is developing and using resins that are biodegradable and thus sustainable. Required structures can be produced on a meter-per-minute scale, similar to newspaper printing. With a strong focus on the product, processes are developed and optimized for: (i) Environmentally friendly production of high-resolution conductive structural elements for organic electronics (fine conductor paths, nanoscale electrodes for organic transistors) (ii) Precise production of optical 2.5D structures for the management of light in films (coupling and decoupling, light conduction) for applications in photonics (iii) Large-scale realization of 3D-structured bionic surfaces and complex nanostructures that make effects from nature technically usable (shark skin, lotus effect, gecko effect, structural colors) (iv) Cost-effective production of complex microfluidic elements in foil as the basis of biosensors for lab-on-foil analysis systems (v) Continuous production of refined high-tech film surfaces for packaging, decor...

Speaker: Vahid Akhavan | Company: PulseForge | Date: 24-Jun-22 | Full Presentation Many prototypes have been developed in the flexible hybrid electronic space that do not go to production due to poor longevity of the final design. One of the big challenges remains how to connect conventional component to a flexible architecture, while maintaining the expected longevity in the circuit. Anisotropic conductors are the current benchmarks for these devices, but their performance is lacking as compared to standard soldering processes. PulseForge has devised a new photonic soldering process that enables attachment using standard solder pastes onto components and substrates that cannot withstand the oven reflow temperatures. Photonic soldering utilizes high intensity flashes of visible light to achieve wide area heating with exceptional uniformity. Solder paste is heated to its liquidous temperature using radiative energy transfer, and light is converted to heat through optical absorption. This process is selective by exploiting selective absorptivity of active regions or with the aid of shadow masks. The optical flash can be modulated digitally, with high temporal resolution, to enable highly customizable temperature profiles, ranging from traditional to highly innovative. Photonic soldering is compatible with standard high temperature lead free solder alloys (e.g. SAC305) in combination with temperature-sensitive substrates (e.g. PET). The nonequilibrium nature of the heating proce...

Speaker: Jonathan Waldern | Company: META (Metamaterial) | Date: 24-Jun-22 | Full Presentation Meta Materials Inc. is developing discrete platform specific proprietary technologies for large-surface-area lithography, allowing the manufacture of nanostructures to be carried out in a cost-effective manner. Each platform employs a massively parallel patterning scheme, designed to be scalable to large areas of either rigid substrate materials and rolls of flexible films. In certain cases we use a phase-shift mask approach and in others, cast plasmonic printing – all allowing the creation of structures with feature sizes down to 50 nm.
