Training future engineers to Printed electronics
Printed electronics Process
 Good cost/performance ratio
 Organic, printed (materials transfer), flexible and large surfaces
 Various techniques: inkjet, serigraphy, flexography, gravure printing
 Numerous applications: antennas, transistors, capacitor, battery, diodes
electroluminescent diodes, photovoltaic cells
its development is favored by a recent trend of "smart" objects
with integrated electronics
Grenoble INP new curriculum (PAGORA)
 22 students / year
 50 hours courses, Semester 4
 Electronics (fundamentals)
 Materials for PCB electronics
 Applications
