Abstract :
High speed, high performance
computation will continue to be dominated by silicon-based microelectronics for
the foreseeable future. However, there
are many applications that would benefit from the development of large area,
distributed electronic systems, especially if the systems were rugged,
flexible, and inexpensive per square foot, even if individual device
performance was relatively low. I will
present results on substrates, materials and devices that are compatible with
low temperature, flexible substrates, with specific applications for electronic
textiles and flexible displays. Examples
of woven organic light emitting structures will be presented. This work is supported in part by the U.S.
Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command, Soldier Systems
Center, DARPA, and
Raytheon.

Biography
:
Bruce Gnade
is a Professor Electrical Engineering and Chemistry, and the Distinguished
Chair in Microelectronics at the University
of Texas at Dallas.
Bruce received his BA in Chemistry from St. Louis University
in 1976 and his Ph.D. in Nuclear Chemistry from the Georgia Institute of
Technology in 1982. He managed several
research and technology groups during his 14 years at Texas Instruments
including Si Materials and Processing, field emission
display advanced technology, and Advanced DRAM Materials. From 1996-1999 he was on a temporary
assignment at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a
program manager, where he managed or co-managed the High Definition Systems
Program, the Molecular Electronics Program, and the Heterogeneous Integration
of Materials on Silicon Program. Prior
to joining UTD he was at the University
of North Texas (9/99 –
08/03) as Chair of the Materials Science Department. He has authored/co-authored approximately 100
refereed papers, 68 U.S.
patents and 54 foreign patents.
