This document discusses system hierarchy in printed electronics. It begins by introducing the IEEE electronics system hierarchy, which consists of 6 levels from the integrated circuit level to connections between entire systems. It then examines how printed electronics fits within this hierarchy and can enable new applications. Costs, environmental impacts, and several demonstrator projects are reviewed at different levels of the hierarchy. The summary emphasizes that printed electronics is driven primarily by the circuit board level but aims to enable integrated smart systems and large area electronics.

connect the device leads of components
to PWBs and to the electrical edge
connectors for off-the-board
interconnection.

packages (DIPs), small outline integrated
circuit (SOICs), chip carriers, multichip
packages, and so on, and the chip-level

System Hierarchy in Printed Electronics33
1. Use Phase
As there is no long use phase for disposable smart packaging the CO2
impact depends on the manufacturing phase.
2. Manufacturing phase
The drying / sintering processes are the main driver for level 1. This needs to
be optimized !
3. Printed Electronics
Moving into a clean room environment for production would significantly
decrease the CO2 benefits of PET vs. SMT
