This achievement has further increased the feasibility of commercializing electronic skin for use in various fields, including robots and wearable devices.<\/p>\n<p>Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced that, in collaboration with the research team of Professor Ahn Jun Seong from the Department of Control and Instrumentation Engineering at Korea University&#8217;s Sejong Campus, it has developed an in-situ process-based electronic skin fabrication technology capable of producing large-area multimodal sensors without a cleanroom, a dedicated semiconductor clean-processing facility.<\/p>\n<p>Electronic skin is a thin, flexible sensor that detects pressure or contact like human skin and is a core technology that can be used to realize precise tactile sensing in intelligent robots.<\/p>\n<p>Conventional flexible electronic sensors required semiconductor manufacturing processes such as photomask processing, vacuum deposition, and etching, necessitating costly cleanroom facilities and resulting in complex, expensive fabrication. In addition, because the process steps were divided into many stages, substrates had to be repeatedly moved, causing significant burdens in terms of process management and cost. As a result, there was a limitation in that process management became more complex when applying the technology to large areas or curved structures. In particular, attaching tactile sensors across broad surfaces, such as on humanoid robots with human-like forms, made it difficult to guarantee both process stability and reliability.<\/p>\n<p>To address these limitations, the research team devised a maskless in-situ process technology capable of fabricating sensors using only a UV laser and a 3D printer, eliminating the need for a separate mask process. This technology is designed to enable sensors to be fabricated&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/news-releases\/1132830\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ETRI develops large-area electronic skin process technology without cleanrooms https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/news-releases\/1132830 Publish Date: 2026-06-23 00:15:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":279112,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/mediasvc.eurekalert.org\/Api\/v1\/Multimedia\/2f82bdad-afe5-4878-9f82-97f065d151a5\/Rendition\/thumbnail\/Content\/Public","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[128],"class_list":["post-279111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-robots"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279111"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279111"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":279113,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279111\/revisions\/279113"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
