federica.catania@natec.unibz.it

Federica Catania received her Bachelor’s degree in Physics Engineering in 2018 and her Master’s Degree in Nanotechnologies for ICTs in 2020 from Politecnico di Torino, Italy.

She is currently enrolled in the Advanced-Systems Engineering PhD program at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. Her research is part of FLEXIBOTS – Flexible Electronics meets µ-Robotics: Route for Augmented Bio-Intelligent Medical Treatments – a joint project in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zürich, for the development of untethered and bioresorbable micro-robots electronics integrated.

Main research areas

Fabrication and characterization of thin-film electronics on rigid and flexible substrates.

abstract = {The rapid growth in usage of disposable single-use plastics is posing a problem for the environment and the ecosystems of the planet. Many efforts are being put together to reduce the impact coming from these polymers by developing environmentally-friendly approaches that substitute traditional methods of fabrication and materials for thin-film electronics. Using biodegradable materials for the development of substrates for single-use electronics is a promising approach towards this goal. In this work, two types of gelatin substrates were developed, one being gelatin-glycerol, and the other being gelatin-emulsifier, to tune their degradation properties without compromising their capability for thin-film electronics fabrication, with degradation time of 15 days and 5 days, respectively. As a demonstration, thin-film temperature sensors were fabricated on the substrates and their response was analyzed over a temperature range of 5 °C-60 °C. The temperature coefficient of resistance of the sensors fabricated on the gelatin-glycerol and gelatin-emulsifier was 0.0024 °C−1 and 0.0046 °C−1, respectively. The use of green materials to create substrates for thin-film electronics applications is paving the way for the reduction of plastic usage and the harmful impact that the presence of these polymers have in nature.},

abstract = {The recent interest in flexible and stretchable strain sensors reflects their potential applications in various fields, including healthcare monitoring, soft robotics, and electronic skins. In addition to high stretchability and excellent sensing properties, self-healability is also a highly desirable property of stretchable strain sensors as it allows increasing their lifespan and, thus, reduce electronic waste and cost. In this letter, a self-healing silicone tape is introduced as a self-healable flexible substrate that to fabricate a resistive strain sensor. The sensor has an average gauge factor of 34.6$\pm$0.26 up to 50% stretch. Moreover, the sensor can be cut and healed without the use of any adhesive materials or heating. After cutting, the healed sensor still has an average gauge factor of 2.0$\pm$0.006 up to 4% stretch, a stable response over 150 stretch-release cyclic tests, and breaks only after 18% of applied tensile strain.},

abstract = {The AC performance of flexible TFTs sufferers from parasitics caused by tolerances needed for the fabrication on free-standing plastic foils. In this context, the semiconductor island can either be wider or narrower than the source/drain contacts. Traditionally, the second configuration is expected to result in faster TFTs as the total gate overlap area is smaller. However, here it is shown that $\mathrm {2.5~ \mu \text {m} }$ long flexible InGaZnO TFTs with wide semiconductor islands exhibit better frequency performance such as a ${f}_{T}$ of $\mathrm {26.1~ \text {M} \text {Hz} }$ (compared to ${f}_{T}$ of $\mathrm {13.8~ \text {M} \text {Hz} }$ of TFTs with narrow semiconductor islands). This effect is confirmed for flat and bend TFTs and is caused by current spreading in the semiconductor islands, as well as the frequency dependency of the gate capacitance.},

To evaluate the scalability of our thin-film technology for systems realization, as well as for the development of highly flexible devices, two parallel strategies are explored. First, the stability of oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) is investigated under different environmental conditions (temperature and humidity variation). Afterwards, InGaZnO-based TFTs are integrated with Perovskite Light Emitting Diodes (PeLEDs), to evaluate the technological scalability for flexible active display. Secondly, the employment of stretchable Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), acting as a stretchable substrate, in combination with the induction of customized wrinkles in the electronics stack, is used to allow the realization of bendable and stretchable TFTs and circuits.},

abstract = {The use of plastics for daily life applications keeps rising rapidly making these polymers a material of choice in many fields, including electronics. Nevertheless, the pollution generated from the fabrication, usage and disposal of plastics has become an environmental problem that is impacting most of the ecosystems in our planet. Efforts are being made to reduce the impact plastics have in nature, with recycling and upcycling as promising approaches that not only reduce the harm plastics to the biosphere, but also help in developing a circular model for the usage of these organic polymers. In this work, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was recycled from commercial beverage bottles to create a sustainable substrate for the fabrication of thin-film electronics. As an application for the substrate, temperature sensors were developed and their response was analyzed over a temperature range from 5 °C to 65 °C with a temperature coefficient resistance $(\alpha)$ = 0.002 °C−1, used to measure the temperature of commercial bottle beverages. The development of these substrates provides a second life to the PET from bottles, paving the way for the sustainable and circular usage of plastic as substrates for thin-film electronic devices and a reduction of the negative effects their presence and footprint have in nature.},

abstract = {Flexible electronics, most prominently thin-film transistors (TFTs) on plastic substrates, are considered the prime building block for the realization of innovative wearable systems. Two of the currently most successful fabrication processes of transistors on free-standing polymer foils are large-area-compatible devices structured by conventional UV lithography and high-speed transistors realized by self-alignment. Here, both processes, based on InGaZnO (IGZO) technology, are combined for the first time. This not only demonstrates their compatibility, but also showcases the differences between the resulting devices. Concerning the geometry, TFTs with the same nominal designed channel length of 1.5μm exhibit a real channel length of 1.5μm (self-aligned) and 4.5μm (conventional). Furthermore, the integrated side-by-side fabrication enables the electrical comparison of both types of TFTs excluding external factors. While all TFTs exhibit similar threshold voltages around $\mathrm {0 V}$ and excellent on/off ratios of $\approx \mathrm {e10 }$ , conventional TFTs are easier to fabricate and have comparably higher mobilities up to 16cm2V−1s−1. At the same time, self-aligned TFTs demonstrate better ac performance, demonstrating a maximum oscillation frequency of 216 MHz. This integration shows new possibilities for the realization of complex systems made from building blocks optimized for reliability and speed.},
