Professor of electrical and computer engineering Ravinder Dahiya, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Glasgow, has published research that advances electronic printing. Printing “high-performance and stable transistors … remains a major challenge. This is because of the difficulties to print high-mobility semiconducting materials and the lack of high-resolution printing techniques,” they write.

Crucially, the researchers now propose “silicon based … transistors to demonstrate the possibility of developing high-performance complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor… computing architecture.”
