Kovio Introduces All-Printed Silicon Thin-Film Transistor

SAN FRANCISCO—Kovio, Inc., a privately held Silicon Valley company, has introduced an all-printed high-performance silicon thin-film transistor (TFT), a key building block that will enable the integration of electronics into everyday things. Kovio has demonstrated low-cost all-printed silicon TFTs with mobility of 80cm2/Vs, which significantly exceeds the performance of previously reported all-printed TFTs using either organic or inorganic semiconductors.
