Abstract
High‐performance low‐cost flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) are desirable for applications such as internet of things (IoT) and wearable electronics. Carbon‐nanotube (CNT) thin‐film transistor (TFT) is a promising candidate for high‐performance FHE, because of its high carrier mobility, superior mechanical flexibility, and material compatibility with low‐cost printing and solution‐processes. Flexible sensors and peripheral CNT‐TFT circuits, such as decoders, drivers and sense amplifiers, can be printed and hybrid‐integrated with thinned (<50µm) silicon chips on soft, thin, and flexible substrates for a wide range of applications from flexible displays to wearable medical devices. Here we report: 1) process design kit (PDK) to enable FHE design automation for large‐scale FHE circuits, and 2) solution‐process proven intellectual property (IP) blocks for TFT circuits design, including Pseudo‐CMOS [1] flexible digital logic and analog amplifiers shown in Figure 1. The FHE‐PDK is fully compatible with silicon design tools for hybrid‐integrated flexible circuits.
