XEROX Organic Thin Film Transistor Manufacturing Breakthrough - IDL and LabView Working Together
XEROX Organic Thin Film Transistor Manufacturing Breakthrough - IDL and LabView Working Together Customer Challenge XEROX needed to develop a more efficient and accurate method of organic thin film transistor manufacturing. Solution Achieved To solve their problem, they turned to IDL and LabVIEW. At their Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), XEROX took a CAD circuit design and used IDL to formulate vectors and then render the image in off- screen memory. PARC then passed the vector image information to LabView to control a high-resolution printer for depositing organic electronic polymers and etch mask material. This new technique, made possible by IDL and LabView, allows XEROX to completely eliminate photolithography in the production of transistor arrays for displays and image sensors, sav
