Algorithmic presentation of printed electronics verification in-process

Abstract

Printed electronics products manufacturing is in the emerging stage demanding both technological infrastructure and methodological procedures development including performance monitoring system organization. In the study the developed verification in-process algorithm for flexible and wearable electronics production in the case of RFID-antenna, strain-gauge sensor and OLED-pixels based on updated printing techniques and equipment is proposed. It was shown the most valuable monitoring factors impacting deliverable end item quality are production-driven roughness parameters substrate and the underlying layers (elements), their intermixing and thermal post-processing conditions. The tolerance checkpoints parameters, patterns of selected parameters interaction and optimal monitoring stages were fixed.
