The high temperatures required to create crystalline silicon d evices\, however\, has limited the application of crystalline silicon to s ensing systems that work in a small and mechanically rigid form factor. Th e development of inorganic and organic thin film electronics has launched a second revolution in electronics\, granting the ability to process elect ronically active materials at low temperatures. This has allowed for two e xciting opportunities: the ability to build electronic devices on the same size scale as the systems they interact with\, and the ability to integra te electronic materials on a range of substrates including the back-end of CMOS integrated circuits\, electronically active substrates\, and flexibl e materials.\nOur group has been working on the hybrid integration of orga nic semiconductors\, thin film piezoelectrics\, and laser-recrystallized s ilicon with active substrates to implement a range of new functionalities. In this presentation\, I'll show how thin film electronics and the hybrid integration enabled by new semiconductor systems and process options allo ws for active and spatially localized control of systems that are typicall y used in a single element format. Devices we have developed include singl e chip PCR systems\, miniature spectrometers\, devices for blood flow anal ysis\, large area and miniature microphones\, integrated on-chip filters\, and active matrix micro-LED displays. These approaches unlock new applica tions in healthcare\, sensing\, displays\, and communications.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\nIoannis (John) Kymissis is the Kenneth Brayer Professor of E lectrical Engineering at Columbia University and Vice Dean for Infrastruct ure and Innovation of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering.
