NANOIDENT Technologies AG, the world leader in printed
semiconductor-based optoelectronic sensors, today announced the
NANOIDENT SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0 Platform, the core technology foundation
for a wide array of application-specific printed semiconductor
platforms and products. The SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0 Platform enables the
realization of a new class of printed semiconductor-based electronic
devices with unique technical features for applications in a wide
range of markets, including consumer, industrial, life science and
security.
"We see an incredible opportunity for our groundbreaking
technology. More and more market leaders are recognizing the
tremendous capabilities of printed electronics to enable new
innovative products with unique selling propositions," said Klaus G.
Schroeter, CEO, NANOIDENT.
NANOIDENT's SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0 Platform is the core technology for
all NANOIDENT vertical market platforms and is comprised of four core
intellectual property (IP) elements, which include liquid conductive
and semiconductive materials IP, design and simulation IP, production
processes and quality assurance IP and functional component IP. The
SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0 Platform enables the design and mass production of
printed semiconductor-based functional components such as photo
detectors, light emitting diodes, transistors, photovoltaic cells,
resistors, capacitors and interconnects.
In order to enable the rapid deployment of printed
semiconductor-based products in specific vertical market segments,
NANOIDENT and its market-focused subsidiaries have created additional
vertical market platforms for the life science and security markets,
the PhotonicLab(TM) Platform and the SmartBiometrics(TM) Platform.
These platforms are based on the NANOIDENT SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0 Platform
technology and are used to create a vast array of custom-specific
printed semiconductor devices for the life science and security
markets, such as optoelectronic sensors, chemical and biological
sensors, biometric sensors, X-ray detectors and lab-on-a-chip systems.
In the future, the Platform will also enable printed OLED displays,
transistors and integrated circuits or a combination of these
functions in a single device.
Analysts forecast that the printed semiconductor market is
expected to grow to more than USD 300 Billion by 2025 (Source:
IDTechEx). Because devices are produced using liquid conductive and
semiconductive materials, NANOIDENT makes it possible to print
electronic circuits on a wide variety of surfaces using advanced
printing systems. This process delivers devices with a vast array of
unique technical features and substantial cost and time savings.
Printed semiconductor devices based on NANOIDENT's SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0
Platform technology can be flexible, ultra thin, low weight and very
large (several square meters), opening up new application areas not
accessible with conventional silicon-based technologies. With
NANOIDENT's new printed semiconductor production process, devices can
also be manufactured in hours rather than weeks.
Availability
Printed semiconductor devices based on NANOIDENT's SEMICONDUCTOR
2.0 Platform are highly customized and sold directly to global OEM
partners. For more information about NANOIDENT and the SEMICONDCUTOR

About NANOIDENT Technologies AG
NANOIDENT is the world leader in the development and manufacture
of printed semiconductor-based optoelectronic sensors. The company's
core technology merges the latest breakthroughs in materials science
and nanotechnology with modern printing techniques to create a new
class of semiconductor devices. The revolutionary SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0
Platform is the basis of the world's first commercial printed photonic
sensors, enabling a whole new generation of applications in the
industrial, biometric and life science markets.
NANOIDENT's high-speed, environmentally friendly manufacturing
process utilizes liquid nanomaterials and additive production
techniques. These liquids are used to print electronic circuits on a
wide variety of surfaces, producing products in mere hours for
prototype as well as high-volume applications. The company's printed
semiconductor devices can be bendable, disposable, light, ultra-thin
and large area. They have application specific spectral and electronic
properties and can contain light sources and light detectors as well
as electronic circuits. These unique characteristics enable
cost-effective, custom designed devices for applications such as
industrial, chemical, biological, biometric and X-ray sensors, printed
OLED displays for smart packaging and electronic signage.
Privately held, the company is headquartered in Linz, Austria,
with subsidiaries in Menlo Park, California and Grenoble, France.
