Digital Teaching:
In this attendance semester, the audio track for this course will be recorded via Panopto for the slides of the presentation and made available in moodle. In addition to the slides, you will then have access to the spoken text. A part of the lecture can also be purely digital - in this case, the presence event is then omitted. We will inform you about this in moodle.
Course Contents:
This course will be taught in English. The term "Printed Electronics" is generally understood to mean the mass production of functional electronic parts, components and systems (transistors, OLEDs, solar cells, batteries, etc.) in very large quantities using conventional and digital printing technologies. The research field "Printed Elecronics" is characterized by its high degree of interdisciplinarity between natural sciences and engineering. The lecture is therefore aimed at students of mechanical engineering, materials science, chemistry, electrical engineering and printing technology. The aim of the lecture is to provide a comprehensive overview of the topics and tasks of printed electronics and printable electronics, in order to gain a general understanding of the specific challenges in the fields of electrical engineering, materials science, chemistry and printing technology.
In particular, the lecture imparts knowledge about
- the function and areas of application of digital and conventional printing technologies,
- the special chemical and rheological properties of functional printable materials,
- the functional architecture of the electronic components and systems to be printed, and
- the process steps involved in the manufacture of printed electronics.
The written exam in English maps this interdisciplinarity. There is no sample exam. Lecture slides with your own notes may be used for the exam. For more detailed regulations see lecture.
Literature:
No literature is required other than the lecture notes.
Preconditions:
Even though many of the basic principles come from the disciplines of printing technology and electrical engineering, the lecture can also be taken without prior knowledge from these areas. In recent semesters, many students from a wide range of disciplines have successfully taken the course. The course is also suitable for international students and incoming students.
Expected Number of Participants:
50
Sustainability Reference of the Course Contents:
