Spray-On Solar Cells Power MEMS

Posted March 29, 2009 7:48 AM

University scientists have figured out how to use organic solar cells to power MEMS devices. Offering better mechanical flexibility and higher absorption coefficients than silicon solar cells, organic solar cells can be deposited on a variety of substrates via spin-coating, spraying, or inkjet printing, paving the way for a variety of applications in home, consumer, and automotive electronics.

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from MEMS Technology, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to MEMS Technology today.
