“Essential technical milestones have been achieved: Recently PolyIC presented the world’s fastest organic circuit (600kHz) and working RFID (radio frequency identification) Tags based on polymer organic semiconductors as prototypes. The tags are based on a radio frequency of 125 kHz. The target of PolyIC is to reach the 13.56MHz standard. The circuits proved to be very stable, even without any encapsulation. They have been demonstrated live on several international conferences. Future target of PolyIC is to develop and adapt production techniques for this technology, to allow mass volume production. PolyIC will provide low-priced products with high quality. For this electronic production high volume printing machines will be used. First products with printed electronics in large quantities should be available during 2006.”
