Abstract
Wearable technologies such as smart glasses have recently caused much excitement in the business and technology spheres. However, these examples use relatively conventional technologies. The real breakthrough in wearable technologies will come when we can manufacture materials and components that are flexible and non-intrusive enough to be integrated into everyday items, such as our clothes. The main challenges to achieving this are the lack of reliability, performance limitations of (opto)electronics on flexible substrates, and the lack of flexible power sources. Much of the necessary device technology exists in some nascent form; our proposal will provide the technological innovation to allow its manufacture in a form compatible with wearable technology. In this project we aim to solve a key technological challenge in wearable technologies, namely that of scalable and cost-effective manufacturing by taking advantage of the following areas of UK technological excellence in components and scale-up technologies:
1) The assembled consortium has an emphasis on inventing and demonstrating the key wearables technologies required on flexible substrates for displays, energy harvesting and sensing.
2) The consortium consists of key researchers in the fields of modeling prediction, metrology, systems integration and design for reliability, all required to complement the device engineering.
3) Importantly, by integrating, right from the word go, the aspect of Roll-to-Roll (R2R) scale-up of manufacturing such flexible technologies, we will create the manufacturing know-how to allow fundamental science to translate into manufacturing.
The deposition processes for all wearables face similar challenges such as low material yield, high waste (important for functional films where minimizing waste saves costs substantially) and lack of in-situ process monitoring. Additionally, for our targeted applications, there is currently no scalable cost-effective manufacturing technology. Roll-to-roll processing fulfills this crucial need and our aim will be to enable this scalable manufacturing technology for inexpensive production on flexible substrates, an area very much underexplored in terms of advanced functional materials, but one with huge potential.

Planned Impact
In its latest report on manufacturing in the UK, the Foresight report concludes that "Manufacturing is no longer about 'production'"and that "39% of UK manufacturers with 100 or more employees derived value from 'manufacturing services' related to their products." These are important numbers and no technology embodies these aspects more than wearable and flexible technologies. By 2024, the market for wearable technology will reach $70 billion, according to IDTechEx. Initially photovoltaics, OLEDs and e-paper displays will grow rapidly, followed by thin-film transistor circuits, sensors and batteries. Even agriculture is expected to be a growth sector for wearables, as outlined in another IDTechEx report, "Wearable Technology for Animals 2015-2025," which covers the needs, technologies and markets of wearable electronics for livestock, pets and wild animals. It forecasts that the global market will grow from $910 million in 2014 to $2.6 billion in 2025. Thus enabling the manufacture of these devices and systems can produce huge economic benefits to the UK economy. In addition to our industrial partners, there are many other UK firms that we plan to engage with such as Oxford & Paisley, Cambridge Materials, Sheffield Materials etc. There is also significant activity in machine development in the UK (Bobst Manchester, Timpson, Double R Controls, Ultraprecision Engineering, Gencoa etc.), film converting (Ultimet, Camvac, Tertrapak) and substrates (Innovia films, DuPont Teijin etc.), all of whom would experience benefits when we enable the manufacturing of truly wearable and flexible technologies. Moreover, the provision of wearable technologies provides opportunities for follow-on services such as automatic health monitoring with automated links to the medical professions, which could add significant value to the UK economy.
As EPSRC's own Materially Better report outlines the UK is particularly strong in key areas of research such as in the understanding of complex inorganic materials, organic electronics, theory and simulation of materials and functional devices. In our project, we address each of those issues. Thus, this is evidence that our highly interdisciplinary proposal plays to the strengths of UK's Advanced Materials base. The call document states "to enable advanced functional materials to thrive in the industrial world, we need to understand the integration of these materials with components, the demands for performance and reliability, and the requirements for new assembly processes and manufacturing techniques to realise this." Our proposal addresses these very needs in the context of wearable and flexible technologies by marrying materials development with upscaling processes suitable for large area deposition. The general technological know-how that we will develop is however applicable to other industries such as antireflection coatings, smart windows and rigid solar cells that are outside of wearable and flexible technologies and we will actively seek to engage with them.

Description | The findings of this award has contributed to several non-academic outputs specifically towards developing tools and techniques to commercialize displays, especially by the involvement of Bodle Technologies Limited. Furthermore, a materials list was compiled via the Co-I at Southampton which has been circulated to industrial partners keen ti take up any materials deposition on their chips for further integration. This could lead to breakthroughs in disruptive optoelectronic devices. The presentations of the WAFT Co-Investigators and the scientific discussions in the WAFT Poster Session demonstrated good progress within WAFT in October 2017 and again in February 2019 and in August 2019. Interlock of device development and modelling advanced rapidly over the last 18 months of the program leading to some very interesting demonstrations of wearable ammonia sensors on flexible substrates as well well as on polymer fibers. Individual exchanges between research groups and industry as well as scientific interactions with IAB partners were highlighted at the last IAB meeting and it was remarked that this programme was "one of the best uses of £2.5 million, they hav ever seen" by one IAB member. The Industrial Partners were encouraged to follow up on scientific discussions and research collaborations under individual NDA's even after the impending end of the programme. New partnerships have been created and Innovate UK funding was procured. It is likely the the potential impact of this programme will continue into the next few years. April 2020: Prof. Moritz Riede & Sameer Kesava (PDRA) - IP developed Title: Analysing real-time spectroscopic ellipsometry data for characterising optoelectronic quality Our invention relates to a method of and a system for processing spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) data, in particular for monitoring interfacial processes. Ellipsometry is used to characterise properties of thin films such as thickness, roughness, optical constants, composition, crystallinity, quality and concentration, and may obtain sub-nanometre surface sensitivity. When light, including polarisation components in both the s- and p- planes, interacts with a substrate, the relative ratio of the polarisation components may change. Ellipsometry determines the change in polarisation by measuring the amplitude ratio, and phase difference, of the reflected or transmitted light. The "ellipsometric ratio (ER)", (related to the changes in polarisation) may then be calculated to be tan(). This data is then typically fitted to a model that has been constructed to describe the sample in order to extract parameters of interest such as optical constants and layer thickness. Model analysis for complex materials, such as organic semiconductors, becomes increasingly computationally expensive and time consuming with an increasing numbers of layers. The application of SE to in situ, real-time analysis of thin films, as the layers are being deposited, for example, may be limited to determining the thickness of the sample only, owing to the increased complexity of the resultant spectra due to absorption of the incident radiation by multiple layers of the substrate. This results in manufacturers often relying on thickness monitoring (which provides no information on the optical parameters or layer quality) as the only form of quality control of thin film devices in situ, followed by intensive post- production quality testing. As a result, product defects are not identified until post-production, resulting in high material wastage and process inefficiency. The present invention aims to provide an improved method of processing SE data (e.g. in real-time) without such model dependence. |

Title | High current conductive AFM |
Description | Our set-up on an Asylum MFP 3D atomic force microscope allows us to induce up to 1 mA of current through a conductive AFM tip. This allows us to probe the nanoscale electrical properties of functional materials at current densities commonly used in real world devices, helping accelerate real-world usability of such materials in devices that have dimensions of devices, eliminating the need for lithographic patterning in order to screen novel materials. We have successfully used this to characterize phase change materials, and more recently are adapting this for 2D materials. |

Title | Optoelectronic testing station - Fiber Coupling with nanometer precision |
Description | Set-ups used for combined optoelectronic testing of nanoscale and microscope devices have several limitations with respect to mechanical, electrical and optical operation properties. Therefore, in order to continue with the study of mixed mode electro-optical operation of functional materials, a new experimental set-up with better characteristics was required. The following features were identified. In order to aim the laser accurately on the device, a raster reflectivity scan was necessary. This, in turn, called for the improvement in reproducibility of the stage position, as well as a reduction of the drift due to thermal expansion and mechanical relaxation of the components. Additionally, by reducing mechanical drift, the time available to perform the test would also increase, allowing for better focusing and aiming into the area of interest. Improvement in the scan step resolution was also required, in comparison to the 100nm step resolution provided by the pico-motors of the former setup. Also, nano-second range optical and electrical pulses were needed to induce amorphization of GST devices. All of the before mentioned requirements were subsequently incorporated into a new experimental setup in a way which is described in detail in a thesis submitted by Gerardo Rodriguez Henandez whilst working in Harish Bhaskaran's laboratory. The requirements for the optical component of the experimental setup corresponded closely to a laser-scanning microscope. Such an instrument produces images by raster scanning a focused laser beam on a given sample and acquiring the intensity of the reflected signal at every point during the scan. However, higher power than that required to simply acquire reflectance scans (3mW) was also needed to optically induce phase changes of phase change materials (~60mW). One important feature in the current design was the use of fibre-coupled optical components. Such components allow a reduction of the setup footprint, simplify the alignment and improve the sensitivity to vibration and are generally safer to use. |

PI Contribution | Functionally scaled computing technology: From novel devices to non-von Neumann architectures and algorithms for a connected intelligent world. The Fun-COMP project aims to develop a new wave of industry-relevant technologies that will extend the limits facing mainstream processing and storage approaches. We will do this by delivering innovative nanoelectronic and nanophotonic devices and systems that fuse together the core information processing tasks of computing and memory, that incorporate in hardware the ability to learn adapt and evolve, that are designed from the bottom-up to take advantage of the huge benefits, in terms of increases in speed/bandwidth and reduction in power consumption, promised by the emergence of Silicon photonic systems. We will develop basic information processing building blocks that draw inspiration from biological approaches, providing computing primitives that can mimic the essential features of brain-like synapses and neurons to deliver a new foundation for fast, low-power, functionally-scaled computing based around non-von Neumann approaches. We will combine such computing primitives into reconfigurable integrated processing networks that can implement in hardware novel, intelligent, self-learning and adaptive computational approaches - including spiking neural networks, computing-in-memory and autonomous reservoir computing - and that are capable of addressing complex real-world computational problems in fast, energy-efficient ways. We will address the application of our novel technologies to future computing imperatives, including the analysis and exploitation of 'big data' and the ubiquity of computing arising from the 'Internet of Things'. To realise our goals we bring together a world-leading consortium of industrial and academic researchers whose current work in the development of future information processing and storage technologies defines the state-of-the-art. |

We will develop basic information processing building blocks that draw inspiration from biological approaches, providing computing primitives that can mimic the essential features of brain-like synapses and neurons to deliver a new foundation for fast, low-power, functionally-scaled computing based around non-von Neumann approaches. We will combine such computing primitives into reconfigurable integrated processing networks that can implement in hardware novel, intelligent, self-learning and adaptive computational approaches - including spiking neural networks, computing-in-memory and autonomous reservoir computing - and that are capable of addressing complex real-world computational problems in fast, energy-efficient ways. We will address the application of our novel technologies to future computing imperatives, including the analysis and exploitation of 'big data' and the ubiquity of computing arising from the 'Internet of Things'. To realise our goals we bring together a world-leading consortium of industrial and academic researchers whose current work in the development of future information processing and storage technologies defines the state-of-the-art. |

PI Contribution | HAMR is a technology designed to enable the next big increase in the amount of data that can be stored on a hard drive. It uses a new kind of media magnetic technology on each disk that allows data bits, or grains, to become smaller and more densely packed than ever, while remaining magnetically stable. A small laser diode attached to each recording head heats a tiny spot on the disk, which enables the recording head to flip the magnetic polarity of each very stable bit, enabling data to be written. Our research team provided expertise in our knowledge of advanced materials to the industrial partner Seagate to help them indentify materials more suitable in the hard drives they were developing. |
Collaborator Contribution | The Nanomaterials for Data Storage project has successfully demonstrated new materials with new capabilities to improve read write transducer reliability and performance in next generation hard drive products. High thermal conductivity materials have been processed at Seagate's wafer fabrication facility with follow on electrical testing to verify that the nitride based materials have enabled reduced thermal effects in the transducer, translating into a 25% gain in the ability to set the distance between the head and the disk. This will enable reduced time to product launch for the Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) hard drive technology due to reach the market in early 2019. Advanced material synthesis and test capability at the partner organisations, Ilika and University of Southampton was used to facilitate material optimisation and exploration with many alternative options. The Nanomaterials for Data Storage has resulted in strong working relationship between Seagate, llika and the University of Southampton. As a result of this another Innovate UK funded project, Photonic Material Process for Data Storage, is underway. The aim of this project is to put in place a mechanism for continued business interaction between Seagate and Ilika. Also, the University of Southampton has been able to quickly demonstrate material properties and measurements in several areas that are of interest to Seagate. It is hoped that one of these areas can become the focus on a future Innovate UK funded project. The partners are actively working on this at the moment. |

The technological challenge of successfully implementing colour & video capability within a reflective (non-backlit) display has been challenging the display industry for years. Reflective E-reader displays are slow to refresh and only available in black and white, whilst backlit LCD and emissive OLED screens consume high rates of power: this limits the information display applications that these technologies can be applied to. Development of a feasible low power, Cookies on the GtR website multi-colour display technology could see many new avenues of opportunity open for new reflective information displays including in wearable devices and the internet of things. UltraSRD addresses this unsatisfactory compromise on colour, speed and energy consumption: based on research completed at the University of Oxford and with industry support, Bodle Technologies intends to investigate the feasibility of developing a commercially viable, high resolution, bistable, rapid refresh, colour reflective display by 2020 using novel phase change materials. |

Company Name | Bodle Technologies Limited |
Description | Bodle develops and commercialises a new class of active smart glazing products and displays. |
Year Established | 2015 |
Impact | Bodle's core technology is about the creation and manipulation of colour that is reflected off a surface by changing the refractive index of ultra-thin functional layers. The technology is completely revolutionary, as it can achieve all of the following: • Extremely high resolution, with pixel sizes of sub-100 nm already demonstrated (compared to several micrometers for the best current technology). • Capable of very deep colour hues matching and even exceeding the range of colours possible by the latest technologies in displays • Can be clearly viewed in bright lighting conditions • Eye fatigue minimal as displays similar to paper • Very low power similar to electrochromic displays • Extremely high speed switching capable of video rendition in reflective mode, and even holographic displays possible as switching speeds are much lower than microseconds. |

Results and Impact | Title: Photonics using functional materials for computing Seminar Abstract: Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence would be possible without the fantastic advances in electronics, but surprisingly, new techniques and architectures for hardware engineering of such devices has only recently become an important topic. In this talk, I shall talk about how both device concepts and new materials can bring about a step change in this field. Photonics and Optoelectronics will become mainstream in the next few years, and I hope to convince you that whatever route these technologies take, a class of materials known as phase change materials will play a key role in their commercialization. I shall give an overview of these with a view towards their near-term applications in displays, and their medium-to-long-term potential in integrated photonic memories to photonic machine-learning hardware components, with a few of our recent results in this area. To encourage discussion. |

Results and Impact | Invited to give a presentation to the St Paul's Girl's School Physics Society. A Q&A panel session followed with great interest. "Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such an engaging talk on Wednesday! It was fascinating to hear about natural resonance frequencies, nanobridges, NEMs and more - using the guitar really helped us understand and visualise these concepts which take place on a nanoscale. Others told me how much they enjoyed learning about how crucial nanotechnology is in devices we use all the time, and your emphasis on the need for creativity in STEM was truly inspiring. I imagine how busy you must be and am very grateful that you were able to give us an insight into nanoengineering, a topic I'm sure will only increase in relevance! With many thanks from all of us at St Paul's," |
