16‐4: Invited Paper: Process Design Kit and Design Automation for Flexible Hybrid Electronics

Abstract

High‐performance low‐cost flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) are desirable for applications such as internet of things (IoT) and wearable electronics. Carbon‐nanotube (CNT) thin‐film transistor (TFT) is a promising candidate for high‐performance FHE, because of its high carrier mobility, superior mechanical flexibility, and material compatibility with low‐cost printing and solution‐processes. Flexible sensors and peripheral CNT‐TFT circuits, such as decoders, drivers and sense amplifiers, can be printed and hybrid‐integrated with thinned (Pseudo‐CMOS [1] flexible digital logic and analog amplifiers shown in Figure 1. The FHE‐PDK is fully compatible with silicon design tools for hybrid‐integrated flexible circuits.
