LOL!
I'm interested in how they will do sub-micron printing with "ink-jet" like
printers - pretty dumb approach.
And what ink they will use for printing?
IBM, INTEL wouldn't spend billions in technology research if the things
were so much easy.
The circuit I saw on this web were with components 1x1 cm which is probably
more than the Pentium MCU all silicon chip.
Very cool "technology" to show the students how the IC circuits are
created, but with this kind of technology simple OPAMP like uA741 (we made
in our semiconductors classes (in the very past) when I was student) will
be printed on plastic with 10x10 cm :)
