Digital Teaching
Due to a lecture change, this lecture took place for the last time in the summer semester 2023. As there are still some students who need this lecture for a module, the lecture will be offered for the last time in the summer semester 2024 as an online-only course. There will therefore be no face-to-face lectures.
Lecture slides and video recordings from a previous semester are available in moodle.
The exam is written, for details see chapter "Introduction". It is also described there which aids are permitted for the exam. Registration in TUCaN is required for the written exam. There you will also find the binding date and location of the exam. We aim for a date in the last lecture of the semester and another date in March. Unfortunately, oral examinations are not possible. Please note: The actual slides are binding for the written exam - not the videos.
Course Contents
This course will be taught in English. The term "Printed Electronics" is generally understood to mean the mass production of functional electronic parts, components and systems (transistors, OLEDs, solar cells, batteries, etc.) in very large quantities using conventional and digital printing technologies. The research field "Printed Elecronics" is characterized by its high degree of interdisciplinarity between natural sciences and engineering. The lecture is therefore aimed at students of mechanical engineering, materials science, chemistry, electrical engineering and printing technology. The aim of the lecture is to provide a comprehensive overview of the topics and tasks of printed electronics and printable electronics, in order to gain a general understanding of the specific challenges in the fields of electrical engineering, materials science, chemistry and printing technology.
In particular, the lecture imparts knowledge about
- the function and areas of application of digital and conventional printing technologies,
- the special chemical and rheological properties of functional printable materials,
- the functional architecture of the electronic components and systems to be printed, and
- the process steps involved in the manufacture of printed electronics.
The written exam in English maps this interdisciplinarity. There is no sample exam. Lecture slides with your own notes may be used for the exam. For more detailed regulations see lecture.
Literature
No literature is required other than the lecture notes.
Preconditions
Even though many of the basic principles come from the disciplines of printing technology and electrical engineering, the lecture can also be taken without prior knowledge from these areas. In recent semesters, many students from a wide range of disciplines have successfully taken the course. The course is also suitable for international students and incoming students.

Sustainability Reference of the Course Contents
Printing is a technology for metering materials and structuring surfaces. Printing is thus an additive manufacturing technology that can be used to change surfaces in a targeted manner. Unnecessary material consumption and subsequent subtractive manufacturing processes can thus be largely avoided. The appropriate use of printing technology can therefore make a valuable contribution to resource efficiency.
