[sdiy] DIY IC's at Home

[jays at aracnet.com]

I know that there has been some work on developing solar cells that can be painted on items (like houses and roofs) and using an 'ink jet' type printer to put stuff down on materials for solar cells.

So maybe it's not as blue sky as you thought.

It struck me that with todays printer technology and raw material pricing it should be possible to come up with a print process for making custom devices. Granted, the process size will be quite large compared to todays processes, but compared to the late '70s and '80s, I would think it would be comparable and more than good enough for creating the kind of analog or hybrid analog/digital circuitry we would be interested in.
