报告摘要：The interest in printed electronics has exploded over the last decade owing to its potential for creating novel impactful large-area, lightweight, flexible, and low-cost electronics. To realize this technology vision, manufacture of semiconductor devices by high-throughput roll-to-roll printing, instead of slow, batch-wise photolithographic processes, would be paramount. Printed electronics offers a low-cost and eco-friendlier manufacturing approach to a wide spectrum of semiconductor devices including next-gen displays, ultra-low-cost RFIDs, smart labels and packaging, sensors and images, etc. Foremost among critical enablers to propel this paradigm shift in manufacturing is a performance-fulfilling materials suite and compatible processes for fabricating functionally-capable transistors- the fundamental building blocks of modern microelectronics. This presentation discusses the issues, challenges, and advances in materials and process development for printed electronics over the last decade and the outlook for this emerging technology moving forward. It aims to shed light on whether this emerging technology is all fantasy and hypes or innovations and opportunities of impactful commercial values for our times and beyond.

报告人简介：Prof. Beng Ong is presently the Director of Research Centre of Excellence for Organic Electronics, Deputy Director of Institute of Creativity, and Chair Professor of Materials Science at Hong Kong Baptist University. He was formerly the Director of Research at Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) in Singapore, holding joint appointments as a Program Director at Singapore Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and a “Distinguished Nanyang Professor” at Nanyang Technological University. Prior to his relocation from North America to Asia in 2007, Prof. Ong was a Senior Fellow and 21^st-Century Materials Strategist at Xerox Corporation and an Area Manager at Xerox Research Centre of Canada. Over the years, he has held adjunct professorships at several academic institutions including McMaster University and University of Waterloo in Canada, and Shanghai JiaoTong University in China as well as an Honorary Professorship at Shanghai East China University of Science and Technology. Prof. Ong has published extensively in advanced materials, organic electronics, and nanotechnology, and has delivered numerous invited talks including plenary, keynote and distinguished lectures. He currently holds a portfolio of 230 US patents and several hundred foreign patent equivalents, and has an H-index of 64, and over 15,000 citations. His honors and recognitions include US Scientific American Top-50 in Chemicals and Materials, Nanyang Distinguished Alumni Award, Chester Carlson Inventor Award, Xerox Top Innovator, etc. as well as international program awards including American Chemical Society’s Innovation Award, NanoTech-50’s Nanotechnology Innovation Award and Nanotechnology Commercialization Award, to name a few.

Prof. Ong received a B.Sc. degree from Nanyang University, a Ph.D. degree from McGill University, and did his postdoctoral studies at Harvard University before joining Xerox.
