New iNEMI roadmap to include printed electronics.Herndon, VA -- With products using organic or printed electronics coming online in prototypes, the emerging technology will be highlighted in International Electronics Manufacturing This article presents a typical manufacturing process of an electronic assembly. Component manufacturing Components such as resistors, capacitors and integrated circuits are generally made by specialized contractors. Initiative's 2007 Roadmap. The technologies are required to produce flexible electronic media, to print conductive inks Conductive ink is an ink that is conductive, allowing a circuit to be drawn or printed on a variety of materials including paper. It usually contains powdered silver and carbon. Conductive ink is a cheap way to print circuit boards on paper. resulting in active components (such as transistors) and to print organic materials onto flexible substrates. This emerging area of electronics is initially being used for inventory control (e-packaging and e-labeling), digital paper and signage, displays, and novelty Novelty is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals. and marketing applications, the trade group (inemi.org) said. With volume production still some time away, the next roadmap will characterize the technology and infrastructure requirements to reach that stage. iNEMI kicked off the roadmap activity in February. iNEMI said it will broaden efforts to recruit Europe and Asia participants to create a more global picture of electronics manufacturing. iNEMI held a meeting of European representatives at Productronica in November, and has planned workshops in Europe and Asia this spring and summer. iNEMI is also coordinating with ITRS ITRS International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors ITRS International Terrestrial Reference System ITRS International Transaction Reporting System (EU) ITRS International Technical Rescue Symposium (International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors is a set of documents produced by a group of semiconductor industry experts. These experts are representative of the sponsoring organisations which include the Semiconductor Industry Associations of the US, Europe, Japan, ) to standardize stan·dard·ize v. 1.

In particular, the two groups are coordinating to more closely align "design drivers" (ITRS) and "product emulators This article lists software that emulates arcade and console game systems, computing platforms and CPUs.

"With each cycle, we learn from the previous roadmap, improve the process and, in doing so, improve our end result," said Chuck Richardson, staff manager of roadmapping for iNEMI. "We also adapt the roadmap to reflect emerging technologies and industry trends, as we have done with the addition of the new chapter this year. These changes help us ensure that the roadmap anticipates, and remains relevant to, changing industry needs." For information, go to inemi.org/cms/roadmapping/2007_inemi_roadmap.html. |
