2313765 – Lab Course Printed Flexible Electronics
This module is designed to teach students the theoretical and practical aspects of laboratory work in the field of Printed and Flexible Electronics by means of guided and independently conducted practical experiments. In the four experiments, the student will learn to handle real measurement and fabrication technology on the scientific equipment of the institute such as various printers, probe stations, characterization methods and formulation of inks. The module also teaches the competence to write a scientific report, as well as the rules to visualize data sets in a meaningful way. The working titles of the experiments are: 1) Ink formulation and characterization of Functional Inks 2) Printing optimization of an Inkjet Printer for functional Electronics 3) Fabrication and characterization of a printed sensor device. 4) Fabrication of a printed thin film transistor device with subsequent electrical characterization IMPORTANT: - The lab is limited to a number of 6 participants due to capacity reasons. If necessary, a selection procedure will be carried out. Places will be allocated taking into account the students' academic progress. Details will be announced on the lecture website. - The Lab course will take place in the clean room Facilities of InnovationLab in Heidelberg. Speyerer str. 4, 69115 Heidelberg where the research laboratories of Prof. Hernandez-Sosa are located. - The 4 th experiment will take place at KIT Campus North, Institute of Nanotechnology, in the research unit and laboratories of Prof. Jasmin Aghassi-Hagmann.
