Guest Editorial International Flexible Electronics Technology Conference (IFETC) 2022 Special section of Selected Extended Papers

Flexible electronics is being continuously challenged by the growing demands for systems with better quality, lower cost, greener manufacturing, and mechanical flexibility. It goes beyond displays and wearable systems for all pervasive human–machine–environment interfaces. Therefore, the materials and manufacturing techniques at all levels have become increasingly critical for the electronics community to connect device technologies, manufacturing, and circuits and systems. The International Flexible Electronics Technology Conference (IFETC), fully sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society, is a premier conference for the flexible electronics community held annually in different locations around the globe that have become the hot beds for dissemination of designs, manufacturing techniques, and applications of semiconductor devices, circuits, and systems. The annual conference provides a forum for the flexible electronics communities to discuss and collaborate on a broad range of topical areas going beyond displays and wearable systems for an all-pervasive humanmachine-environment.
