Kovio Inc

Kovio, Inc., was acquired in January 2014 by Thin Film. The company had developed printed silicon inks which can be used as a semiconductor. The company was founded around 2001, but began by looking to make inks to print antennas for RFID tags but later switched to making inks to print transistors. It developed a printable nano-silicon ink and has focused on printing RFID and anti theft (EAS) tags.

The RFID Market and the Opportunity for Printed Electronics (2)

In the previous article we looked at the size of the RFID market and how printed electronics was impacting the manufacturing of antennas for RFID tags. In this article, IDTechEx explores the latest progress in replacing the silicon chip in an RFID tag.

Pumped heat electricity storage
