The demonstration includes an 8-bit microprocessor running a captivating snake game on the LTPS 6502 circuitry, illustrating the practical applications of their technology. Despite encountering minor technical glitches during the presentation, Celiker offers detailed insights into the functionality and significance of backplane technology, particularly its role in supporting OLEDs and LCDs. The samples presented feature two microprocessor cores that are isolated yet interconnected, resembling fingerprints due to the embedded transistors. Celiker elaborates on the flexibility of these processors, which can be separated from the glass substrate through laser delamination, showcasing their adaptability for various applications.
Celiker further contrasts two versions of the processors: LTPS and EXO, emphasizing differences in transistor types and channel lengths. While EXO exhibits advantages such as low leakage current, particularly beneficial for memory applications, LTPS, coupled with P SOS (p-type silicon on sapphire) technology, offers distinct advantages for digital applications. Collaborations with prominent foundries like Inol and PragmatIC are highlighted, showcasing advancements in flexible CPU technology. Celiker reminisces about past discussions with PragmatIC regarding the integration of ARM CPUs onto flexible systems, a vision that has now been realized with the development of 32-bit ARM processors using EXO transistors.
Despite the ongoing evolution of flexible CPUs, their primary application remains in displays. However, Celiker envisions broader deployment possibilities and discusses ongoing research areas at imec, such as electro-wetting for biomedical applications and piezoelectric materials for ultrasound transducers. The collaborative nature of research at imec is underscored, with partnerships spanning the globe and often involving support for startups and spin-offs to explore complementary technologies. Celiker emphasizes that profits are shared through patents and partnerships, facilitating cross-disciplinary innovation and driving progress across industries and geographical boundaries.
