Paper-printed silicon breakthrough for micro-electronic transistors

Then we heated the layer with an excimer-laser [a form of ultraviolet laser used in microelectronic manufacturing].” The laser blast only lasted a few tens of nanoseconds, leaving the paper completely intact. Ishihara and his team found that thin-film ...
