Abstract: Retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration lead to photoreceptor death and loss of visual perception. Despite recent progress, restorative technologies for photoreceptor degeneration remain largely unavailable. Here, we describe a novel optogenetic visual prosthesis (FlexLED) based on a combination of a thin-film retinal display and optogenetic activation of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). The FlexLED implant is a 30 um thin, flexible, wireless uLED display with 8,192 pixels, each with an emission area of 66 um2. The display is affixed to the retinal surface, and the electronics package is mounted under the conjunctiva in the form factor of a conventional glaucoma drainage implant. In a rabbit model of photoreceptor degeneration, optical stimulation of the retina using the FlexLED elicits activity in visual cortex. This technology is readily scalable to hundreds of thousands of pixels, providing a route towards an implantable optogenetic visual prosthesis capable of generating vision by stimulating RGCs at near-cellular resolution.

Dave Rosa is the President and CEO of NeuroOne and an entrepreneur with extensive experience in the medical device industry.  NeuroOne is developing and commercializing thin-film high-definition electrode technology that can dramatically improve neurosurgery where typically, multiple surgeries are needed for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Using a photolithographic process to print out these circuits is a distinct advantage over the outdated approach to manufacturing electrodes by hand. Dave elaborates, "Another key piece of what we're looking to accomplish is to really reduce the number of surgeries that a patient has to undergo by combining multiple functions using the same device. So, when I refer to electrode functions, what I'm really talking about is the ability to record electrical activity in the brain, or other areas of the body, stimulate the tissue for therapeutic purposes, or perform an ablation, which is basically destroying problematic tissue that patients would have if they had epilepsy." "All the commercially available electrodes that are cleared by the FDA are fairly thick and not flexible. That becomes really important, the flexibility and thinness when you're trying to insert these through minimally invasive procedures. So, for example, in the spine, the thinness and flexibility of our device allow you to basically roll it up into a tube and push it through a needle, which is commonly used in back surgery procedures. Or you can create smaller holes in the skull to insert these electrodes, as opposed to having to remove the entire part of the skull." @N1MTC #Electrodes #ThinFilmElectrodes #ParkinsonsDisease #Neurosurgery #BrainSurgery #Epilepsy #Depression #ChronicBackPain #MedicalDevices n1mtc.com Download the transcript here

Andrew Forrest's surprising big bet on thin film solar, renewable records tumble, and a crackdown by the regulators.

Glenn Mattes is the CEO of TFF Pharmaceuticals, with a hybrid business model developing an internal portfolio of products and also working with external partners to apply thin film freezing technology. The first compounds are voriconazole, an antifungal being developed for treating invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, and tacrolimus, for lung transplant patients. Other compounds are targeting COVID-19. Glenn says, "So our thin film freezing technology has the ability to transform pharmaceutical products, mostly solid pharmaceutical products, into dry powder formulations. One characteristic that is common to most pharmaceutical compounds is that they're rather poorly water absorbed. So when they are made into a drug, the ability to get enough product into the bloodstream or the plasma means you have to dose the compound at a pretty high level, and you butt up against sort of the adverse events profile." "So, by using thin film freezing, you ultimately can lead to a lower dose of the drug being administered directly to the lung. Therefore you have the opportunity to improve on the efficacy and safety profile of the product that you're working on." $TFFP #ThinFilmFreezing #InhalableTherapies #Voriconazole #Tacrolimus #COVID19 TFFPharma.com Download the transcript here

In this episode Harold King speaks with Shawn George, about this growing business and important technology. Thin film coatings are used in a wide range of applications for many purposes. They can be used to protect displays from scratches or environmental exposure, create a specific degree of reflectivity on a lens or build layers of metallization on semiconductor wafers. Universal Thin Film has been in business for more than 30 years and Shawn is helping them expand into new industry sectors and further develop the technology. Harold talks with Shawn about thin film technology, what it is and how it works and where it is used. They also discuss his career path that included a long stint in the Army, a “later in life” college degree and an answer to the question “how does a history major end up helping to run a technology company?”

TFF Pharmaceuticals thin film freezing technology allows it to take vaccines, small molecule drugs, and biologics and turn them into a fine powder. The process not only can be used to eliminate the need for low temperature storage of certain medicines, but also improve the of water solubility of drugs and allow them to be delivered as inhaled therapies. We spoke to Glenn Mattes, president and CEO of TFF Pharmaceuticals, about its platform technology, the company's efforts to build a pipeline by reformulating existing therapeutics, and its plans to use partnerships to realize the full potential of the technology.

Sophia Chen of MRS Bulletin interviews Alex Hexemer of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, and Daniela Ushizima and Shuai Liu of the University of California, Berkeley about their design of multiple Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to classify nanoparticle orientation in a thin film by learning scattering patterns. Read the article in MRS Communications. Transcript SOPHIA CHEN: Materials researchers come from around the world to study their samples in the beamline at the Advanced Light Source facility, located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. Alex Hexemer, a senior scientist at the facility, tells me that they’re currently upgrading the machine, so that it can take much more data, much more quickly. HEXEMER: The amount of data you’re going to create is so large that A, you can’t take it home on a hard drive anymore, nor can you start looking at the data anymore. It’s just too big. Some of the detectors here are going to run at thousands of frames a second. It becomes unmanageable from a human point, so we have to transition to more automated approaches.CHEN: So Hexemer and his collaborators decided to try a machine learning approach to quickly classify and process x-ray images. To develop their image classification algorithm, they worked with frequency-space pictures of thin films made of polymers, about 100 nm thick. Scientists image these thin films at the facility. They consist of intricate geometrical patterns on the nanometer scale, which researchers try to engineer to create specific materials properties. For example, Hexemer explains that one future application is a printable solar panel. In the future, people might be able to print photovoltaics made of thin film polymers. But first, they need to figure out what nanometer structures work the best.HEXEMER: To try to understand the efficiency of the material, we have to understand the morphology.CHEN: They came up with seven different categories of thin film patterns. One of Hexemer’s computer science collaborators, Dani Ushizima, explains that they had to show the computer millions of examples.DANIELA USHIZIMA: This neural network base will build a mathematical model that will represent the different patterns.CHEN: They found they could classify images successfully into the seven categories 94% of the time. USHIZIMA: The training process might take a long time—hours. But the feedback, to classify a scattering pattern, this is coming on the millisecond. CHEN: The images they classified were simulations of thin films rather than real data. HEXEMER: We want to have better and better simulations close to real and partially disordered systems. And that is very difficult. CHEN: The team brought together experts from materials science and computer science. Shuai Liu, a member of the team, says to expect more collaborations between the disciplines.SHUAI LIU: We point out a very important direction in future research is to combine machine learning, which has been well developed in recent years, with a lot of characterization techniques.CHEN: My name is Sophia Chen from the Materials Research Society.

Solarville Muscle Match - Let's Learn About Thin-Film Solar Panels (English)

We have studied parylene-N and parylene-C for their use as substrates and gate dielectrics in OTFTs. Parylene-N films with a thickness of 300 nm show the required dielectric properties, as verified by breakthrough-voltage measurements. The surface roughness measured for 300 nm thick parylene-N films is 4-5 nm. However, initial growth of parylene depends on the subjacent surface. This results in different thicknesses on Au electrodes and substrate materials for thin films. Capping of micropatterned Au-electrodes with a thin Al layer via lift-off results in homogenous parylene film thickness on the whole sample surface. OTFTs are fabricated on glass with parylene-N as a gate dielectric and pentacene as a semiconductor. The electrodes are patterned by photolithography enabling micrometer sized features. The contact resistance is extracted by variation of the channel length. Modification of the parylene dielectric layer surface by plasma treatment with oxygen after deposition allows shifting of the threshold voltage to more positive values, however at the cost of increasing hysteresis. OTFTs fabricated on thin parylene-C films can be peeled off and could result in flexible devices employing parylene-C foil as a substrate. For a foil thickness of 3-4 mu m, operational devices can be bent down to radii less than 1 mm, e.g. in the range of cannulas. Operation of such OTFTs with parylene-C as a gate dielectric in liquids is demonstrated. The OTFT current can be modulated by the potential in the electrolyte as well as by the bottom gate potential. This allows for application of such OTFTs as sensors in medical devices.

Organische Halbleiter gewinnen zur Zeit als elektronische und optoelektronische Bauelemente zunehmend an Bedeutung. Während organische Leuchtdioden, die oft auf Polymeren basieren, bereits Marktreife erreicht haben, sind organische Transistoren noch im Forschungsstatus. Für organische Transistoren verwendet man üblicherweise geordnete dünne Schichtstrukturen aus kleinen organischen Molekülen wie Pentacen, da hier im Vergleich zu den ungeordneten Polymeren höhere Ladungsträgerbeweglichkeiten erzielt werden können. Trotz intensiver Forschung sind die elektronischen Transportmechanismen und optischen Eigenschaften in solchen Systemen nicht völlig verstanden. Der Ansatz der vorliegenden Arbeit besteht darin, die elektronischen und optoelektronischen Eigenschaften von Pentacen-Dünnfilmtransistoren ortsaufgelöst zu untersuchen. Die dadurch erhaltenen Messdaten ermöglichten es, verschiedene Einflüsse auf das Transportverhalten in Pentacen aufzuschlüsseln und den verschiedenen Bereichen innerhalb des Transistors zuzuordnen. Es wurden zwei verschiedene Versuchsaufbauten realisiert. Um Abhängigkeiten des Transports von der Pentacenschichtdicke zu untersuchen, wurden elektronische in-situ Messungen während des Aufdampfprozesses durchgeführt. Laterale Ortsauflösung wurde hingegen durch einen optischen Aufbau realisiert, mit dem kleine Bereiche des Transistorkanals beleuchtet wurden. Bei den elektronischen in-situ Messungen wurden kontinuierlich während des Aufdampfens von Pentacen die charakteristischen Kenngrößen der Transistoren bestimmt. Neben der Lochbeweglichkeit untersuchten wir im Speziellen die Verschiebung der Schwellwertspannung und die Hysterese der Transistoren, da diese durch lokale Fallenzustände ausgelösten Phänomene eine besonders wichtige Rolle bei den Transporteigenschaften organischer Halbleiter spielen. Das Verhalten der Hysterese konnte durch ein Modell, das lokale Fallenzustände an der Oberfläche der Pentacenschicht berücksichtigt, erklärt werden. Die Entwicklung der Schwellwertspannung sowie der Hysterese während des Aufdampfens erlaubten es desweiteren, die Debye-Länge in Pentacen zu bestimmen. Der zweite Aufbau ermöglichte es, einerseits optische Eigenschaften wie Photolumineszenz und Reflektionsvermögen und andererseits optoelektronische Eigenschaften, insbesondere die Photoantwort, d.h. die lichtinduzierte Veränderung des Transistorstromes, in Abhängigkeit des Ortes der Beleuchtung zu untersuchen. Mit Hilfe der Reflektionsmessungen gelang es, unterschiedliche Absorption einzelner Pentacenkörner aufzulösen. Dies konnte auf eine Davydov-Aufspaltung zurückgeführt werden. Die Photoantwort unserer Transistoren besteht aus einer langsamen Komponente, die unabhängig vom Beleuchtungort auftrat, sowie einer schnellen Komponenten, die nur durch Einstrahlung an den Kontakten ausgelöst wurde. Aufgrund der Zeitskala und der Gatespannungsabhängigkeit wurde die langsame Komponente als bolometrischer Effekt interpretiert. Wärme, die durch Absorption in der Probe erzeugt und in den Halbleiterfilm transportiert wird, befreit Löcher aus Fallenzuständen, wodurch die Konzentration der freien Ladungsträger und damit der Gesamtstrom im Transistor erhöht wird. Die schnelle Photostromkomponente wird durch einen elektronischen Prozess, der auf einer Exzitonentrennung durch das hohe elektrische Feld am Kontakt beruht, erklärt. Die große Ausdehnung des Signals wurde auf eine hohe Interkombinationsrate von Singulett-Exzitonen zu Triplett-Exzitonen, die aufgrund ihrer langen Lebensdauer große Diffusionslängen besitzen, zurückgeführt. Diese hohe Interkombinatinosrate wurde durch die sehr schwache Photolumineszenzausbeute bestätigt.
