John Matteucci Technical Excellence Award

John Matteucci Award

John Matteucci was recognized around the world as a leader in the field of vacuum coatings. His inspiration to AIMCAL Conferences and the International Conferences on Vacuum Web Coating has led to a special monetary award being given to the authors of the best paper in each of the Web Coating and the Vacuum Web Coating sessions of the AIMCAL Web Coating Conference. Each paper is evaluated for breadth of subject, technical content, presentation style and future impact on the technology or marketplace. Judging is done by three members selected from the Conference participants with the proviso that the judges are ineligible for the awards. The competition is sponsored by Converting Quarterly.

Flexible Glass Substrates for R2R Manufacturing

Sean Garner, Corning
Abstract:

Substrate choice is critical for overall flexible electronic device and process optimization. Compared to alternatives, glass substrates offer advantages of dimensional and thermal stability, hermeticity, transparency, and surface quality. This paper discusses flexible glass properties that enable high performance devices using roll-to-roll processes. Also described are approaches to achieve the flexible glass mechanical reliability required for process compatibility. Patterning of photolithographic features on a spooled glass using a representative roll-to-roll process is demonstrated.
