Impressive to replicate silicon semiconductor process.
But wouldn't it be more feasible to develop as good enough process node, flexible, thin film semiconductor devices?
Have been observing developments of plastic based transistors, inks, processes like nanoimprint lithography,
Cleanroom in a STEM microscope and Chad Mirkin's Tera Print system.
Can a small scale nanfab emerge using tech such as Nano-Ops http://nano-ops.net/nanoscale-printing/ ?
I imagine flexible, thin film, large panel based semiconductor SoC. It will not be just a mere microcontroller or IoT node, but a full fleged computing form factor. Think your wall as big plastic computer.
This has lots of advantages. It removes the need for smaller and smaller chips, it spreads the heat out (a major limitation in electronics packaging today), and it adds a lot of new possibilities.
It's a giant pcb and ic combined, both custom to each other and the application.
