Abstract
One company, NthDegree, claims to have invented a ground-breaking method of transferring specific semiconductor properties to a chosen substrate using additive printing and inorganic semiconductor inks. These inks are made of microscopic functional devices such as diodes, transistors and other passive components.These are still built using traditional wafer fabrication technology - there´s no revolutionary fab in a box´ product just yet. By using these tiny semiconductor devices, the company´s printing process creates functional inks that can be printed using standard high-speed printing presses.
