MEMS Enabled Bendable and Stretchable Silicon Circuits

We report the design and implementation of a unique, wafer sized stretchable and bendable monolithic silicon matrix structure.The achieved stretchability allows for simultaneous omnidirectional folding, required to conform the structure to complex curved 3D surfaces.Moreover, it also enables dynamic mechanical deformation of the structure to cope stickers logos dallas cowboys with a moving environment, like e.

g., the wall of the heart muscle.Due to the nature of the fabrication process, normal silicon wafer processing can be performed prior to rendering it stretchable.

This is first demonstrated by the fabrication of two metal layers on top of silicon, which act as the electrical interconnects of a final flexible and stretchable LED-matrix.Currently, the possibility to postprocess an existing commercial CMOS process is investigated.This would lead to a revolutionary potential of new applications, especially in the medical field, by enabling complex silicon monitoring systems to sex shop arles be linked to organs without hindering them.
