廉价和灵活的传感器被设计为喷墨印刷电路（iPC），以解决生物医学，环境，民用和工业领域的动态范围的条件问题。印刷图案、材料选择和分层结构的结合为IPC提供了一个强大的平台，用于开发印刷电路板（PCB）无法实现的产品。在本文中，创建了一个完全印刷的压力传感阵列，作为一个多用途设备，可用于压力映射应用;特别是用于监测和映射身体受损的医院患者的步态。印刷阵列的无栅极场效应晶体管利用铝掺杂的氧化锌（ZnO）作为半导体层，由于其压电性能。测试表明，阵列中的单个节点检测各种压力水平，而整个阵列则作为压力梯度图，具体取决于回路遏制方法。本文最后讨论了未来应用的测试和研究。
Inexpensive and flexible sensors are being designed as inkjet-printed circuits (iPCs) to solve a dynamic range of conditional issues in the biomedical, environmental, civil and industrial fields. The combination of print pattern, material choice and layering structure give iPCs a robust platform for developing products not attainable with printed circuit boards (PCBs). In this paper, a fully printed pressure sensing array was created as a multipurpose device useful for pressure mapping applications; specifically for monitoring and mapping the gait of physically compromised hospital patients. The printed array of gate-less field effect transistors utilizes aluminum-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) as the semiconducting layer due to its piezoelectric properties. Testing shows single nodes in the array detect various levels of pressure, while the entire array acts as a pressure gradient map, depending on the circuit containment method. This paper is concluded with a discussion of testing and research for future applications.
