The target of i-FLEXIS is the development of an innovative, reliable and low-cost integrated X-ray sensor system based on heterogeneous inorganic, organic and hybrid components. It offers real time, direct X-ray detection, room temperature operation and a “designed for industrial production” approach, delivering operationally robust and environmentally friendly devices surpassing current state-of-the-art sensors thanks to brand new and highly needed new functionalities like conformability, flexibility, large active area coupled to low weight, low power consumption, portability, optical transparency, recyclability and/or sustainable disposability (zero waste, according to REACH directives). i-FLEXIS integrates three major novel concepts based on advanced materials, recently demonstrated as a proof-of-principle operation at laboratory scale, allowing for totally new sensing systems: - organic single crystals as the active, X-ray direct sensing material, - high mobility thin film transistors based on nm-thin films of novel high mobility oxide materials operating at ultra-low voltages - Ultra low-voltage TFTs , with novel thin dielectric layers These new concepts, developed and implemented using micro/nanotechnology, will be integrated into the final sensor system that will consist of multiple sensing units integrated as a 2D matrix onto a a low cost plastic substrate (flexible electronics) and will be scaled up to 10cm x10cm with printing techniques compatible with industrial production. The readout electronics for the whole system will be implemented by a CMOS platform based on printed organic and oxide TFTs. (web site : www.iflexis.eu)
