Arm researchers have created a flexible 32-bit computer chip from plastic

Technology (Advanced invention)

It is The world’s most complex flexible integrated circuit built with metal-oxide TFTs that have been printed onto a plastic film. TFTs are thin-film transistors that can be built onto more flexible surfaces. By using plastic film as a base surface, it’s possible to manufacture chips more affordably and apply them in unique ways The actual chip is no lightweight. The researchers said it’s a 32-bit microprocessor based on the ARM Cortex-MO+ chip, and it supports the ARMv6-M architecture. It features over 18,000 logic gates and has both internal memory and a controller. The researchers said future versions could incorporate as many as 100,000 logic gates before power consumption becomes a problem. PlasticARM is already capable of running programs from its internal memory.
