Development of Epidermal (TATTOO) Electronic Device with Organic Materials for Tracking Animals

Abstract

The objective of the study is to develop epidermal (tattoo) electronic devices for tracking domestic animals using printed organic complementary technology on flexible substrates with high performance N and P-type organic thin film transistor (OTFT) based on small molecules organic semi-conductor. The tracking device could be used to secure, monitor and locate animals. It is a wellknown fact that most animals live a nomadic life. This however leaves most of the animals vulnerable to attack and sometimes go astray with the owner not knowing about their whereabout. Hence the research project tends to proffer solutions in handling such cases. The device was based on organic electronic (OE) materials which allow for the fabrication of virtually every kind organic thin film component and battery. The device circuit incorporated several electronic modules such as GSM modules, receiver module, microcontroller as well as power supply unit. The use of ultra-thin organic field effect transistor (OFET) based circuit aids in light-weighted portable, wearable, conformal and adhesion to animal skin.
