Although all printed cost-less radio frequency identification (RFID) tags have been considered as a core tool for bringing up a ubiquitous society, the difficulties in integrating thin film transistors (TFTs), diodes and capacitors on plastic foils using a single in-line printing method nullify their roles for the realization of the ubiquitous society1,2. To prove the concept of all printed cost-less RFID tag, the practical degree of the integration of those devices on the plastic foils should be successfully printed to demonstrate multi bit RFID tag. The tag contains key device units such as 13.56 MHz modulating TFT, digital logic gates and 13.56 MHz rectifier to generate and transfer multi bit digital codes via a wireless communication (13.56 MHz). However, those key devices have never been integrated on the plastic foils using printing method yet because the electrical fluctuation of fully printed TFTs and diodes on plastic foils could not be controlled to show the function of desired devices. In this work, fully gravure printing process in printing 13.56 MHz operated 32 bit RFID tags on plastic foils has been demonstrated for the first time to prove all printed RFID tags on plastic foils can wirelessly generate and transfer 32 bit digital codes using the radio frequency of 13.56 MHz. This result proved that the electrical fluctuations of printed TFTs and diodes on plastic foils should be controlled in the range of maximum 20% to properly operate 32 bit RFID tags.

Printed RFID는 반도체 성질을 띤 유기물의 발견 및 유기물의 메모리소자로의 활용 등에 대한 연구가 이루어지면서 관심을 가지게 되었다. 유기물이 무기물에 비해 소재의 안정성 등 여러 가지 한계를 갖고 있음에도 전자소자로의 활용을 모색하고 있는 것은 저가격, 대량생산이 가능하다는 데 있다. 유기물을 이용하여 우선적으로 산업화가 진행될 것으로 판단되는 분야가 프린팅방법을 이용한 RFID에의 응용이다. Printed RFID는 저렴한 폴리머 소재를 이용하여 저가격, 대량 생산이 가능하고 생산시 그 수요도 다양할 것으로 보고 있다. 본 기고문에서는 printed RFID의 기술발전 동향, 제조방법, 시장전망, 한계기술 및 극복방안에 대하여 기술하고자 한다.

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the effect of coated weight and calender pressure on conductivity of printed RFID tags. The printed RFID tags have been manufactured with gravure printing and it has been well known that the efficiency of printed RFID tags is influenced by surface properties of substrate. In this study, coated paper was prepared with four different coated weight and three different calender pressure. After printing conductivity ink on coated paper, surface resistance was measured to evaluate the efficiency of the printed RFID tag. It was found that, with increasing of coated weight and calender pressure, the paper gloss, smoothness, brightness and gravure printability were improved while the surface resistance of the printed RFID tag was decreased.

The conventional coated paper has many functional problems for printed RFID tag. This study was carried out in order to evaluate the effect of coating color components on conductivity of printed coated paper. It has been well known that the efficiency of printed RFID tag is influenced by surface properties of substrate. The required properties for suitable substrate of printed RFID tag are high smoothness and waterproof property. In this study high grammage base paper surface sized with PVA was used. Coated paper was manufactured with five different formulations. Types of coating pigments and dosage of latex were varied. It was obtained high smoothness and also less binder demand with clay than GCC. On the other hand, suitable surface resistance and smoothness of coated paper for RFID tag was obtained with 20% of latex. Besides it shows the possibility of using coated paper for printed RFID tag.

Recently, a great deal of research is focused on the printed electronics. One of their mainly concerned products is printed RFID tag. RFID technology has attracted researchers and enterprises as a promising method for automatic identification, and they are expected to replace conventional bar codes in inventory tracking and management. The key to successful RFID technology lies in developing low-cost RFID tags and the first step in applying printing technology to RFID systems is to replace antennas that are conventionally produced by etching copper or aluminum. However, due to the printing quality variations, errors, and lower conductivity, the performance of the printed RFID antennas is lower than that of antennas manufactured by conventional etching methods. In this paper, the effect of variations in the printing conditions on the antenna performance is investigated. Three levels for each condition parameter is assumed and effect on the resonant frequency are examined experimentally based on orthogonal array. The most serious factor that affects the resonant frequency of the antenna is the non-uniformity of the edge and the resonant frequency is found to be lower as the non-uniformity increases.

본 논문에서는 전기 및 전자 쓰레기의 대책으로 Printed Circuit Board (PCB) 부착형 Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) 태그 칩을 이용한 사물인터넷 디바이스 생산 공정에 대한 모델을 제안한다. 전기 및 전자제품은 PCB 부품실장 공정과 검사가 필요하다. 또한 현재 제조사들이 사용하는 바코드 시스템은 Surface Mount Technology (SMT)공정이 완료되기 전까지 PCB 이력 관리가 불가능하다. 논문에서 제안한 PCB 부착형 RFID 태그 칩을 이용한 사물인터넷 디바이스 생산 공정 모델은 바코드 방식과 같은 출력-부착 단계가 필요하지 않다. 태그 칩은 각 단계의 공정 데이터가 기록될 수 있고, 데이터베이스 시스템 (DBMS) 접속 횟수를 현격히 줄일 수 있다.

최근 RFID, 유연디스플레이, 태양전지, 전자 종이 등의 소자를 프린팅 방식을 이용하여 생산하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행 되고 있다. 이런 방식이 기존의 노광기술과 식각기술에 의존하는 반도체 공정에 비해 가격 경쟁력에서 우수하기 때문이다. 특히 RFID, 유연디스플레이, 태양전지, 전자 종이 등은 유연성과 대량생산을 필요로 하기 때문에 롤투롤(roll to roll)공정과 같은 저가격화, 대형생산화에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이 롤투롤 기술을 사용하기 위해서는 인쇄 패턴의 빠른 구현, 표면 균일도, 두께 등의 높은 인쇄 품질이 보장 되어야 한다. 본 연구는 실험계획법(Design of Experiment)을 적용하여 인자들의 주효과와 교호작용 효과를 분석하고, 롤투롤 전자인쇄 시스템에서 닙 롤의 특성에 따른 인쇄 품질의 영향과 인쇄 품질의 향상 방안을 찾기 위한 매칭기술을 제안 하였다.

A curing process in post-printing section of R2R process is required for an electrical property of the printed pattern when devices such as RFID, Solar cell are printed. PEN as well as heat-stabilized PET which is used as a plastic substrate would be deformed at high temperature due to change of its elastic modulus. And crack in the printed pattern, which is on the plastic substrate is occurred due to the deformation of the substrate. The occurrence of crack causes electrical resistance to increase and the quality of the device to deteriorate. In case of RFID antenna, the range of reading distance is shortened as the electrical resistance of the antenna is increased. Therefore, the deformation of the plastic substrate, which causes the occurrence of crack, should be minimized by setting up low operating tension in R2R process. In low tension, slippage between a moving substrate and a roller would be generated when the operating speed is increased. And scratch would be occurred when slippage is generated due to an air entrainment, which is related to the thickness of the air film. The thickness of the air film is increased when operating speed is increased as shown by simulation based on mathematical model. The occurrence of scratch in conductive pattern printed by roll to roll process is a critical damage because it causes degradation or failure of electrical property of it.
