eHybrid Memory Chip -Status
TFE together with Intel has shown that the Hybrid Polymer Memory Chip works. Intel has retained (and paid for) their license but has decreased their activities within the Hybrid Polymer Memory Chip development.High capacity memory is desirable and the market will want 10 GB cards as the digital cameras are exceeding 10 Megapixels already today. TFE will seek partners who can develop the polymer further, to fulfill all requirements.

eTOWARDS MEMORIES OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Anno 2006
Today we are here!
Printed electronics have matured enough that memory can be operated
Most electronics companies are engaged in developing printed electronics
Most large paper companies are getting involved as they see new business opportunities in printed electronics.

eFrom Polymer Memory Chip to Printed Electronics
From “expensive fabs” to “Garage” environmentFrom “smallest geometries (sub-um)” to >50 µmFrom “computer speed” to “functional speed (Hz-
MHz)”From “one-wafer production” to “Production
speeds of 30 m2/min”
Printed electronics will enable everyday products mass manufactured
Memory will be everywhere

eImagine Memory Everywhere
”Track and trace” your kids at e.g., amusement parks
Make sure your kids go on the right rides
No more long lines at the check-out counter
Ensure that your groceries are fresh and have been shipped properly
Interactive packages help the kids make ”healthy”decisions.
Animated commercials for amusement and brand enhancement
Find your goods fast and communicate with your shopping list at home
Make sure that the goods you buy are genuine
Get the right price at the right time of day

eApplication Roadmap
TFE’s technology is suitable for a wide range of applications and discussions have been and will be held with potential partners for all
For early revenue from royalties or products, the development effort will focus on applications that are closer to market due to lower complexity or greater maturity of peripheral technology

eGame card example
The central unit is a game consol like Game boy or similar which contain the game as well as the properties of players/teams in an internal memory. Via a wireless connection two or more players may play against each other.
The game card contains a small memory that points to e.g. a player or team with specific properties.
As the game moves along the various properties of a player may change. The player becomes stronger or weaker, faster or slower, more or less technical, injured and so on.
A 15 bit memory gives 32768 different player or team properties are available. These could e.g. be allocated to 320 different teams with 100 different properties.

eMore importantly –Save lives
“80 million food borne infections yearly. 5,000 deaths. Cost to US healthcare system is up to $6 billion yearly.” CDC Atlanta, USA
“Medication non-compliance costs the US alone approximately $100 billion and 125,000 deaths yearly”US National Pharmaceutical Council
“Up to 20% of foods are discarded due to spoilage through the supply chain.” Food and Drug Administration

eThe future of printed electronics
”The pace is accelerating as the printed electronics market wings its way to being a $300 billion business in twenty years from now. It is far more important than the silicon chip because it embraces lighting and other forms of electrical and combined electrical-electronic device, not just electronics. Things thought impossible only two years ago such as the printed RFID circuit working at the newly favourite frequency of UHF are now being planned for mass production. That increase in frequency capability makes us realise that the disposable cell phone and much more besides will be possible after all. The Cinderella technology starts to get clever and that includes a whole range of sophisticated printed sensors, batteries and other power sources, photodiodes - the list goes on and on.”

eShortage of memory technologies
“The biggest opportunities for printed electronics include displays, printed transistor circuits, RFID and sensor networks. Of course, these overlap. Some RFID tags include sensors and some have displays, many displays need transistor circuits to drive them. So this forms a tight pack of technologies all marching in step,with investment and invention nicely coordinated to tackle the fabulous market opportunities ahead? Not so. One thing is missing as we seek to print all of them and it is non volatile, preferably large memory. There may be hundred companies developing OLEDs and thirty developing thin film transistor circuits yet compatible printed memory - needed for almost everything we have mentioned - is being tackled only by a handful of organisations, most of them at the university - write a scientific paper -stage and with no chance of being ready on time. The result is that the first printed RFID tags will appear within the next two years with only a few bits of memory, making them virtually unsaleable.”
