N2 - High-performance and low-cost flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) are desirable for applications such as Internet of Things (IoT), wearable electronics, and flexible displays. However, design toolkit, design methodology, and compact models that play an essential role in designing complex FHE circuits and systems are still missing today. To fill this gap, here we report (a) the process design kit (PDK) dedicated to electronic design automation for FHE circuits and systems and (b) solution process–proven intellectual property (IP) blocks, which serves as a stepping stone for designing large-scale flexible thin-film transistor (TFT) circuits. The proposed FHE-PDK is made compatible with modern electronics design tools for users to design, simulate, and verify physical design of flexible hybrid systems.
