Hanyang University ERICA researchers have developed a vertically integrated dual-gate transistor design, which could give robots ‘reliable touch sensing and high density, large-area integration’.
Conventional tribotronic devices, that convert mechanical stimuli like touch into electrical signals, offer fixed sensitivity and pose challenges in large-area integration.
In a new study, researchers have developed a new vertically integrated dual-gated tribotronic transistor architecture, that offers tuneable sensitivity, reliable contact and proximity detection, as well as minimal pixel footprint for high-density array integration.
