Micro-Transfer Printing - Flexible and Stretchable Electronics Lead Faculty Researcher: John Rogers Department: Materials Science & Engineering 1. Description: The Center has developed an adhesiveless transfer printing process of micro/nanoscale wafer-based devices (LED’s, sensors, TFT’s, FET’s, etc), wires, and ribbons which, with controlled undercut etching, are made very thin (100 nm- 1 µm) and flexible allowing transfer to other substrates. In the process, the wafer produced devices/structures are undercut with a controlled etch that leaves them attached with only small tags. A soft PDMS stamp is then brought in contact with the wafer in a step and repeat process which can disperse the devices on a receiving substrate. This undercut etching followed by pick-and –place process can also be applied to micro and nano-wires/ribbons, SWNT, and other structures formed on a silicon substrate to create new products and potential applications. When the receiving substrate is a pre-stressed elastomer, the process can create stretchable form of printed silicon electronics. The process can also be used to “print” multi-layered active silicon devices to produce integrated electronic devices. transfer print stamp structures on source substrate remaining structures on source substrate structures on device substrate
