The drive towards ubiquitous electronics requires fundamental shifts in our approach to microelectronic fabrication as well as advances in materials and processing technologies. For large area electronics, low cost manufacturing, including roll-to-roll and printing technologies, will be required. These techniques present continuing challenges to develop processing technologies compatible with the low thermal budgets required for flexible polymeric substrates. The authors report here the deposition and dielectric properties of nanocrystalline films on polyethylene terephthalate utilizing laser annealing as part of their effort to develop methods and tools for depositing various functional coatings and films on flexible substrates.
