Ultra-flat wafers are changing the way we make electronic components, which is revolutionizing technology. Devices that are smaller and require less power are made possible by thin silicon wafers, which can be as thin as 25 micrometers or less.
Because of their flexibility and smaller size, flat wafers they open the gate for wearable technologies, which are a revolutionary idea. Let’s see how that could work out.

Wearable technologies—often referred to simply as "wearables"—are electronic gadgets that people can physically wear to track, analyze, and transmit personal data.
These "smart" Internet of Things gadgets are becoming common consumer electronics in the gaming and fashion sectors, and they can track biometric data such as heart rate and sleep patterns.
The problem with conventional silicon chips is that they lack mechanical flexibility. On the other hand, thin-film transistors are a part of flexible electronics, and as such, they helped develop cutting-edge features in small electronics, contributing to the creation of smartphones with smaller sizes and potent processors and redefining technology.
Today, its benefits are also being explored for wearable technology. From digital microfluidics, wearable healthcare patches, neuroprobes, and robotic interfaces to bendable displays, wearables could bring a true jump in improving the human life quality, especially for patients with diseases like diabetes.

Though TFT technology has advanced significantly, its potential for use in a wide range of applications has not been fully realized, in contrast to conventional semiconductor technology. This means that there’s more room for discoveries to come. Here at Wafer World, we’re excited to see what’s to come.
