Story: Printable semiconductors move a step closer

Posted by: floyd bertagnolli (Tuesday 20 April 2004, 9:16 PM)

Dinesh Sharma's article about Printable Semiconductors really caught my attention. If the first step is printable I think the burning question that wasn't addressed is "what about the 2nd step?" What will this mean to the circuit board industry. Will surface mount and through hole components become obsolete in 5 years? Will all circuit board assemblies be flat/flexible like paper or built into objects and virtually invisible?-- Personally I am very eager to hear from Dinesh. -- Please reply to this E-mail as it will affect significant investments of my company.
Sincerely yours,
