Booth 1608

Orthogonal Photolithography

Orthogonal Photolithography is a patented technology, pioneered by Fraunhofer COMEDD group leader Dr. Alex Zakhidov.  It takes advantage of the fact that the vast majority of organic materials are either oleophilic or hydrophilic and are hence orthogonal to highly fluorinated chemicals.  Therefore, appropriate fluorinated photoresists can be used to pattern organic layers without compromising the performance of organic devices.  The availability of such orthogonal photoresists promises to enable the fabrication of complex device structures, expanding the range of possibilities for organic electronics.  Fraunhofer COMEDD established Orthogonal Photolithography in its clean room and incorporated it into a 200-mm wafer microdisplay pilot fabrication line.

NICOMATIC
Warminster, PA  215/444-9580 x217
www.nicomatic.com
Booth 427

Gold-Plated Flat Flexible Cable

Nicomatic is now offering gold-plated flat flexible cable (FFC).  Similar to tin-plated FFC, gold-plated FFC provides board-to-board interconnectivity.  Additionally, it is also capable of mating with standard ZIF/LIF connectors.  However, non-gold plating is more susceptible to corrosion from contaminants such as oils, chemicals, and water, whereas gold-plating prevents corrosion.  In fact, gold-plated FFC mating to gold connectors will have no galvanic corrosion, even in harsh and demanding environments.  Gold plating also prevents problems with whiskering and oxidation.  Gold plating allows for a greater life cycle as well.  While tin takes only 50 insertions/extractions, gold can do 10 times as many.
