capabilities within Canada that will have both economic and societal through the development of novel_x000D_
thin-film sensor technology. The project will combine the nanoparticle materials development of Medella_x000D_
Health with the process development expertise of Professor William Wong's group at the University of_x000D_
Waterloo. The integration of the materials invented by Medella Health and thin-film transistor (TFT)_x000D_
micro-fabrication technology developed at the Giga-to-Nanoelectronics Center at the University of Waterloo._x000D_
Specifically, the project will allow the integration of amorphous silicon TFTs and nanoparticle solutions. The_x000D_
integrated sensors will operate by detecting analytes that react with the nanoparticles on the TFTs, which will_x000D_
be detected through changes in the operational parameters of the TFTs. The successful outcome of the project_x000D_
will create novel sensor technology products that will enable Canadian electronic device manufacturers to_x000D_
