Abstract
Today the growth interest of the Internet of Things, the use of the
cloud data base concept requires more and more the use of multi-
functional interfaces eco-self-sustainable, conformable and at low
costs. In this presentation we discuss the set of developments
achieved at CEMOP/CENIMAT concerning the exploitation of low
cost surfaces, such as paper, to be considered as an electronic
component in MESA like transistor
architectures that besides exploiting
the surface, it allows controlling the
onset voltage of the transistors in a
broad range of values. Apart from
that we also present data concerning
the exploitation of paper as
substrate to growth solar cell devices
and super capacitors to harvesting
the systems to be developed in such
foils.
The
simulated
transfer
characteristics of these devices
under low and high drain to source
voltages will be discussed (see figure
above) and compared with the set of
experimental results achieved.
