Abstract

This paper presents a flexible organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) amplifier for bio-signal monitoring and presents the chip component assembly process. Using a conductive adhesive and a chip mounter, the chip components are mounted on a flexible film substrate, which has OTFT circuits. This study first investigates the assembly technique reliability for chip components on the flexible substrate. This study also specifically examines heart pulse wave monitoring conducted using the proposed flexible amplifier circuit and a flexible piezoelectric film. We connected the amplifier to a bluetooth device for a wearable device demonstration.
