Abstract: 

In recent times pervasive computing from the Internet of Things is requiring more interconnected devices. For some applications we should overcome the limits silicon technology, close to the end of the Moore law, such as the use of different materials, curved or rough surfaces or flexible and wearable devices. Printed electronics becomes an interesting opportunity to solve much of these problems.
In these talk we will show the main particularities of Inkjet printing technique in the context of printed electronics. The production of some devices such as sensors, transistors, memristors as well as kesterite solar cells will be shown. Finally, we will show how Inkjet allows the hybrid integration with SMD based silicon technology in an easy way.

Biography: 
Albert Cirera is a Professor contracted Doctor (2005) in the Department of Electronic and Biomedical Engineering of the University of Barcelona. His research is associated with the IN2UB (Institut de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia-UB). He has recently been appointed Vice Chancellor for Entrepreneurship, Transfer and Innovation at the UB. His group develops electronic devices (sensors, transistors, memristors) by means of printed electronics technology, mainly InkJet, Electropray and Serigraphy. This has allowed to advance in the applicability of the investigation, at the same time as it has approached new materials such as polymers, carbon nanofibers or graphene. The main current scientific interests are: - Printed and hybrid technologies for the development of electronic devices and systems - Study of the nanoscale interaction in electronic devices - Electronic and bioelectronic applications of printed devices
