INTRODUCTION

Scientists at Cambridge university UK have come up with the technology and finding to make ultra cheap micro chip from plastic.

The men behind plastic logic Hermaun Hauses - Director of Amadeus capitol partners Richard Friend - scientist Cambridge university

Silicon chips are expensive to make Polythiophenes and ologithiophenes

PLASTIC TECHNOLOGY

Polymer chains have conjugated double bonds Organic compound. Eg:- polythene, polyacetylene Polymer Eg:- polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene FET transistor

Organic TFT

Electrically insulating polymers ( polyvinyl phenol, PVP) are used for any interlayer dielectrics. For active switching layers - semi conducting polymers.
(fluorine - bithiophene copolymer ) poloymer semiconductors are a class of organic polymers formed by long chains of sp2 hybridised carbon atoms.

DOPING

Doping in inorganic materials Doping in organic materials

Dopents added in between the chains instead of atoms. P type doping - doping is conducted with an electron acceptor (iodine) N type doping - doping is conducted with a donor (lithium)

MANUFACTURE

Conventional manufacturing Direct printing techniques

Conventional manufacturing It requires photolithography

Direct painting of polymer transistor circuits.

Chips will be made by spraying tiny globules of conducting plastics onto almost any material, including clothes and even pieces of paper Technology is based on direct inkjet printing

* High resolution - 5 mm - 500 dpi of mall critical gap between the source and drain * Inkjet printing - 20 to 50 mm (less than 1000 dpi) *This process allows to inkjet print the source - drain and gate electrodes from a water based ink at the conducting polymer , poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) doped with poly styrene solphonic acid ( PEDOT/PSS ) with a resolution of 5 mm.

 High mobility - 0.002 cm2/vs High ON - OFF current ratio of 105 Good operating stability

To fabricate complex integrated transistor currents - interconnects by vin- hole

ADVANTAGES
*Time required for the print

*Non- contact printing technique *Environment friendly

APPLICATION
* Low cost identification tags and smart cards

* Printable computers

CONCLUSION
* Many companies and universities are working towards

turning this plastic dreams into a reality. * It dont have the capacity to store huge chunks of memory chips. * Still researches believe that this is the beginning of a new technological revolution that will play itself over the next 10 to 15 years
