News >> Actualités

The PASTA project will combine research on electronic packaging and interconnection technology with textile research to realize an innovative approach of smart textile.

By introducing new concepts for electronic packaging and module interconnect, a seamless, more comfortable and more robust integration of electronics in textile will be possible. The main technological developments will concentrate on a new concept for bare die integration into a yarn (by means of micromachining), a new interconnect technology based on mechanical crimping, and the development of a stretchable interposer serving as a stress relief interface between the rigid component and the elastic fabric. The proposed solutions for integration of electronics in textile will cover a whole range of components, from ultra-small LEDs to complex multichip modules.

The project is coordinated by imec (Belgium) and includes following partners : CEA (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives), PEP (Association Pôle Européen de Plasturgie),
Hermes Textile Holding (France), Fraunhofer IZM, STFI (Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut), ETTLIN Spinnerei und Weberei Produktions GmbH & Co KG, Peppermint Holding GmbH (Germany) and CSEM - Centre Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique (Switzerland) and Asyril (Switzerland)

In the PASTA project, Asyril is in charge of developing an equipment to attach dies (RFID, LEDs, …) to wires at high speed.
