31 Oct 2000TL;DR: In this paper, a review of X-ray imaging technology in terms of detector operating principles, including optoelectronic characteristics, and fabrication process issues related to pixel (Schottky diode detector plus thin film transistor) integration is presented.
Abstract: Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) technology offers a viable technological alternative for improved imaging of optical signals and high energy radiation. This paper reviews X-ray imaging technology in terms of detector operating principles, including optoelectronic characteristics, and fabrication process issues related to pixel (Schottky diode detector plus thin film transistor) integration. Recent results which describe the extension of the current fabrication processes to low (/spl sim/120/spl deg/C) temperature are also presented. The low temperature processing enables fabrication of thin electronics on flexible (polymer) substrates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a freeze-form extrusion fabrication (FEF) method was developed for the fabrication of ceramic-based components, which is based on deposition of ceramic pastes using water as the media, and three-dimensional shaped components were fabricated by extrusion deposition of the ceramic paste in a layer-by-layer fashion.
Abstract: A novel, environmentally friendly solid freeform fabrication method called freeze-form extrusion fabrication (FEF) has been developed for the fabrication of ceramic-based components. The method is based on deposition of ceramic pastes using water as the media. The ceramic solids loading can be 50 vol.% or higher and initial studies have focused on the use of aluminum oxide (Al2O3). The FEF system components and their interaction are examined, and the main process parameters affecting part geometry defined. Three-dimensional shaped components have been fabricated by extrusion deposition of the ceramic paste in a layer-by-layer fashion. The feasibility of this process has been demonstrated by building components having a simple geometry, such as cylinders and solid or hollow cones. Hollow cones have also been fabricated to demonstrate the ability to build structures with sloped walls.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fabrication of multilayer microstructures using metal transfer printing (MTP) is demonstrated for organic field-effect transistors, for which a two-layer gold structure is produced by MTP.
Abstract: The fabrication of multilayer microstructures, for example for organic field-effect transistors, using metal transfer printing (MTP) is demonstrated. The Figure shows a two-layer gold structure produced by MTP. Since MTP is a purely additive technique, in which mechanical adhesion acts as the patterning driving force, it is considered an attractive approach to reel-to-reel processing.
