Presentation Summary

  • The sensor tape will integrate pressure and acceleration sensors, signal-processing electronics, non-volatile memory, and a thin film battery.
  • For low-cost disposable tapes, we are targeting fabrication techniques such as inkjet printing, laser machining and lamination that are compatible with roll-to-roll manufacturing.
  • This talk will discuss the progress in organic materials performance and electronics stability to meet the requirements of this sensor application.

Speaker Biography (Tina Ng)

Dr. Tse Nga (Tina) Ng is a research scientist with the Electronic Materials and Device Laboratory at PARC since 2006. Her research involves plastic electronics such as demonstration of bendable image sensors for x-ray medical imaging. This effort has expanded to other sensor applications, and currently she is working on the electronics and the non-volatile memory for a printed sensor tape to be used in diagnostics of mild traumatic brain injury. Tse Nga has co-authored 10 patents and received her PhD degree from Cornell University, NY, USA, working with Professor John Marohn on the development of force measurement techniques, such as cantilever magnetometry and electric force microscopy, in order to study phenomena in organic semiconductors.
