Eindhoven, Netherlands
High Tech Campus, Conference Centre
This presentation will describe the industry drivers for increased electronic devices and circuits performance and packing density and how multi-level and multi-material Additively Manufactured Electronic (AME) technology enables corresponding innovative designs and fabrication from DC to mmWave applications. The presentation will focus on AME devices including design, materials, fabrication, and testing. This technology provides for electronic circuits not only in 2D but also in 3D where connections can be made without vias, but direct wiring between the electronic elements. The wires can be shielded and unshielded. Furthermore, the fabrication technology allows for traces with different thicknesses at the same level. Yielding fully functional boards with smaller size and lower weight, as compared to equivalent PCB fabricated ones. The presentation will include also devices with chip first embedded active ICs. Components such as capacitors, coils, band pass filters, and multilevel Fresnel lenses exhibit superior RF performance as compered Surface Mount Technology (SMT) of components.
