Chip on paper technology utilizing anisotropically conductive adhesive for smart label applications 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Smart labels are a new generation of low cost transponders consisting of a transponder chip and a flexible type of antenna. Applying a flip chip assembly technology yields a new generation of low cost radio frequency identification (RFID) system that is a paper-thin smart label. Anisotropically conductive adhesive (ACA) is utilized to attach a flip chip onto a paper substrate to form the BiStatix RFID tag. Unlike bar codes, which are passive tags, smart labels can dynamically transmit and receive information to help identify, track and route packages remotely. The concept of flipping or inverting a silicon chip to be mounted on a paper substrate offers distinct advantages and enables achieving the cost and performance goals of this new product technology.Significant process development and reliability assessment was required to develop this smart label application. This paper discusses the process development and reliability assessment that was completed to achieve a low cost flip chip on paper assembly process. The various characteristics of ACA made it an enabling technology for this smart label application. A bare (unbumped) flip chip––without a dielectric layer and conductive polymer bumps––was aligned and placed on the paper substrate with compressive force. A thin layer of anisotropically conductive adhesive was used to attach the IC chip to the conductive ink antenna on the paper substrate. The conductive adhesive underfills and cures in only seconds. Advantages of this environmentally preferred process include the elimination of additional curing processes and reduced equipment requirements as well as the reduction of total IC packaging thickness. 相似文献

As a candidate dispersant for silver-based isotropically conductive adhesives (ICAs), polyurethane (PU) is an environmentally
benign material that can withstand a high deformation rate and that exhibits excellent reliability. In this work we investigated
methyl ethyl ketoxime (MEKO) blocked isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and MEKO blocked hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) as dispersant
materials, and we characterize the electrical conductivity, mechanical properties, and reliability of these PU-based ICAs
with silver-flake filler content ranging from 30 wt.% to 75 wt.%. Results of temperature–humidity testing (THT) at 85°C and
85% relative humidity (RH) and thermal cycling testing (TCT) at −40°C to 125°C show that these ICAs have excellent reliability.
Our experimental results suggest that the MEKO blocked PU dispersants are suitable for preparing ultralow-cost, flexible,
high-performance ICAs for printing antennas for ultrahigh-frequency radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags. These tags
can potentially be used for identifying washable items and food packaging. 相似文献

Printed electronics is expected to increase its market share significantly in near future. The emerging applications include e.g. display applications, RFID tags, and photovoltaic applications. A benefit of printing is the additive character of the process, which means that material is deposited only the amount that is needed. Digital printing increases flexibility of the process, because circuits are manufactured directly from a digital file, which removes need of fixed masks or patterned screens for each layout. Formation of a multilayer circuitry requires printing of conductive and insulative layers. This paper focuses on printing of a dielectric layer with an inkjet printer. Six sigma DMAIC approach was applied during the process characterization and analysis. The study began by defining the process parameters and evaluating their importance to the outputs. Highest rated parameters were taken into consideration and a design of experiments was established. Measured values were analyzed and it was observed which parameters had the highest effect on the outputs. The results were further verified and it was observed that electrically the printed structures were successful. 相似文献

This paper reviews recent advances in fully printed chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) technology with special concern on the discussion of coding theories, ID generating circuits, and tag antennas. Two types of chipless tags, one based on time-domain reflections and the other based on frequency domain signatures, are introduced. To enable a fully printed encoding circuit, linearly tapering technique is adopted in the first type of tags to cope with parasitic resistances of printed conductors. Both simulation and measurement efforts are made to verify the feasibility of the eight-bit fully printed paper-based tag. In the second type of tags, a group of LC tanks are exploited for encoding data in frequency domain with their resonances. The field measurements of the proof-of-concept of the tag produced by toner-transferring process and flexible printed circuit boards are provided to validate the practicability of the reconfigurable ten-bit chipless RFID tag. Furthermore, a novel RFID tag antenna design adopting linearly tapering technique is introduced. It shows 40 % save of conductive ink materials while keeping the same performance for conventional half-wave dipole antennas and meander line antennas. Finally, the paper discusses the future trends of chipless RFID tags in terms of fabrication cost, coding capacity, size, and reconfigurability. We see that, coupled with revolutionary design of low-cost tag antennas, fabrication/reconfiguration by printing techniques, moving to higher frequencies to shrink tag sizes and reduce manufacturing cost, as well as innovation in ID generating circuits to increase coding capacities, will be important research topics towards item-level tracking applications of chipless RFID tags. 相似文献

A reliable and low‐cost solution‐processing procedure to synthesize a highly adhesive flexible metal antenna with low resistivity for radio‐frequency identification device (RFID) tags on paper substrates via inkjet printing combined with surface modification and electroless deposition (ELD) is demonstrated in this paper. Through the surface modification of colloidal solution of hydrolyzed stannous chloride and chitosan solution, the paper‐based substrate is able to reduce the penetration rate of ink and further increase the adsorption amount of silver ions, which could create a catalytic activating layer to catalyze the subsequent ELD of a conductive deposited metal antenna. The resulting metal antenna for RFID tags presents good adhesive strength and low resistivity of 2.58 × 10?8 Ω·m after 40 min of ELD, and maintains a reliable reading range of RFID tags even after over 1000 times of bending and mechanical stress. Consequently, the developed technology proposed allows for cheap, efficient, and massive production of metal antenna for paper‐based RFID tags with excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Furthermore, this process is especially advantageous for the fabrication of next‐generation flexible electronic devices based on paper substrates. 相似文献

Presently the necessity of building anticollision RFID systems with dynamic location change of tags appear more often. Such solutions are used in identification of moving cars, trains (automatic identification of vehicles – AVI processes) as well as moving parts and elements in industry, commerce, science and medicine (internet of things). In the paper there were presented operation stages in the RFID anticollision system necessary to communicate with groups of tags entering and leaving read/write device interrogation zone and communication phases in conditions of dynamic location change of tags. The mentioned aspects influence RFID system reliability, which is characterized by the efficiency coefficient and the identification probability of objects in specific interrogation zone. The communication conditions of correct operation of multiple RFID system are crucial for efficient exchange of data with all tags during their dynamic location changes. Presented problem will be the base to specify new application tag parameters (such as maximum speed of tag motion) and synthesis of interrogation zone required for concrete anticollision RFID applications with dynamic location change of tags. 相似文献

Wearable antennas have an enormous potential in future welfare, healthcare, and childcare applications. These applications require the antenna to be an integral and unnoticeable part of clothing and to be able to endure different environmental conditions and repeated washing. We manufactured UHF RFID tags by screen printing polymer thick film ink antennas on two different fabric substrates and tested the effects of different types of washing cycles on two key properties of wearable passive UHF RFID tags: threshold power and theoretical read range. Despite the detrimental impact of the washing cycles and detergents, the RFID tags remained wirelessly readable at the distances of beyond 1.3 m, which is satisfactory for many field applications. 相似文献

The performance of flexible printed RFID tags affixed onto cylindrical containers is dependent on the inductive behavior of the bent antenna on the tag. Conductive polymeric coil antennas were screen printed onto flexible substrates, and the coil resistances, the inductances, and the S-parameters of the antenna coils were measured and analyzed. The RFID dies were mounted onto the antenna coils and the read ranges were characterized as a function of curvature. The results show that the coil inductance decreased slowly with increasing curvature, and the maximum read range of the tags was markedly reduced with the curvature. The decrease in the coil inductance and the maximum read range were hypothesized to vary with the projected bent coil area instead of the geometric coil area. Experimental results confirmed that the maximum read range of an RFID tag affixed on a curvilinear surface can be predicted by the classical inductive coupling model with the bent projected coil area. On the basis of the experimental and analytical results, a reading reliability factor of two is proposed as a design parameter for flexible RFID tags. 相似文献

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a promising technology for ubiquitous computing. When we embed RFID tags into environment-sensitive objects, RFID networks must be integrated with wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this article, we first identify key requirements for designing an efficient and flexible integration framework. Based on the requirements, we propose a sensor and an RFID integration framework (SARIF). As middleware that operates on top of RFID networks and WSNs, SARIF enables the design of diverse applications flexibly and manages network resources efficiently. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of SARIF by implementing a prototype. 相似文献

Printed electronics provides a potential pathway toward the realization of ultra-low-cost radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for item-level tracking of consumer goods. Here, we report on our progress in developing materials and processes for the realization of printed transistors for low-cost RFID applications. Using inkjet printing of novel conductors, dielectrics, and organic semiconductors, we have realized printed transistors with mobilities >10/sup -1/cm/sup 2//V-s. AC performance of these devices is adequate for 135-kHz RFID, and, with further optimization, 13.56-MHz RFID appears to be within reach. We review the performance of these devices, and discuss optimization strategies for achieving the ultimate performance goals requisite for realizing ultra-low-cost printed RFID. 相似文献

RFID systems are complex heterogeneous systems, consisting of analog and digital hardware components and software components.
RFID technologies are often used into critical domains or within harsh environments. But as RFID systems are only based on
low cost and low-performance equipments, they do not always ensure robust communications. All these points make the on-line
testing of RFID systems a very complex task. This article proposes a new on-line testing approach allowing the detection of
tags defects to enhance system reliability and availability. This approach is based on the characterization of a statistical
system parameter, the tag Read-Error-Rate, to perform the on-line detection of faulty RFID components. As an introduction
to RFID tags on-line testing, a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis first describes the effects of the potential defects on
these systems. Second, a SystemC model of the RFID system is proposed as a way to evaluate the proposed test solutions. Then,
our solution to enhance system reliability is presented. Finally, validation of our on-line test approach using system-level
simulation is discussed. 相似文献

We report on a novel method for patterned deposition of conductive polymers, which is derived from and fully compatible with fast in-line printing methods. The method is aimed at improving resolution, homogeneity and edge sharpness of printed conductive structures for applications in the field of printed electronics. The surface energy of a foil substrate, which has been increased by means of corona treatment, was reduced in selected areas through contact with materials that have suitable surface properties and can be patterned at micrometer scale (i.e. printing plates). A conductive fluid was sprayed onto the chemically heterogeneous surface. The fluid accumulated at areas with higher surface energy. After the drying process, the conductive polymer structures were used as source/drain contacts for the preparation of OFETs. 相似文献

In recent years, bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have drawn much research attention and are shown to be of industrial interest due to their superior mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion. In spite of the interest in harnessing MG for microelectromechanical systems devices, there are limitations in manufacturing such micrometer‐scale structures. A novel approach for the fabrication of 3D MG structures using laser‐induced forward transfer (LIFT) is demonstrated. Inherent tremendous cooling rates associated with the metal LIFT process (≈1010 k s?1) make the formation of a variety of BMGs accessible, including also various binary compositions. In this work, it is demonstrated that LIFT printing of ZrPd‐based metallic glass microstructures can also be performed under ambient conditions. X‐ray diffraction analysis of the printed structures reveals > 95% of amorphous metal phase. Taking advantage of the properties of BMG, high quality printing of high aspect ratio BMG pillars, and microbridges are demonstrated. It is also shown how a composite, amorphous‐crystalline metal structure with a required configuration can be fabricated using multimaterial LIFT printing. The inherent high resolution of the method combined with the noncontact and multimaterial printing capacity makes LIFT a valuable additive manufacturing technique to produce metallic glass‐based devices. 相似文献

Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology is an essential enabler of a multitude of intelligent applications. The robust authentication of RFID system components is critical in providing trustworthy data delivery from/to tags. In this paper, we propose an authentication protocol based on monitoring the transmissions between readers and tags in the system. The proposed authentication scheme is based on injecting decoys within the exchanged communications (between RFID readers and tags) and is used in the authentication process. Furthermore, the proposed authentication scheme is mathematically modeled and validated using extensive simulation. The simulations results show that the proposed scheme provides a 100% confidence level in the authentication of tags and detection of compromised readers. 相似文献
