Short Courses in Fabrication and Processing Technologies for Large-Area Electronics

We are pleased to be partnering with CPI and Printed Electronics Ltd to provide two short courses on fabrication and processing technologies on the day preceding the innoLAE 2021 conference. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the manufacturing technology used in creating large area electronics. Discounted tickets are available if you attend both courses, and also if you attend the conference itself. The courses will be held online via Zoom and using the same interactive event platform as the InnoLAE conference - sign up for both the short courses and the conference now!

Wet processing technologies for large-area electronics

The Wet Processing Short Course is delivered by Printed Electronics Ltd (PEL) and the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI). It covers the inks and printer technology required for deposition techniques including screen, inkjet and flexo/gravure printing. The short course also covers coating techniques such as doctor blade and slot die, drawdown, spin and spray coating. In each case the advantages, disadvantages and technological challenges of each technique will be covered, along with issues arising in scale up for manufacture.

Date: 22 February 2021
Course: Wet Processing Technologies
Time: 13:30-17:00

Dry processing technologies for large-area electronics

The Dry Processing Short Course is delivered by the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI). It covers the key processing techniques required for large area electronic device manufacture, including vacuum deposition, photolithography, laser ablation and wet and dry etching. In each case the advantages, disadvantages and technological challenges of each technique will be covered, along with issues arising in scale up for manufacture.

Date: 23 February 2021
Course: Dry Processing Technologies
Time: 09:00-12:30
