Flexible Electronics: Biodegradable Electronic Systems in 3D, Heterogeneously Integrated Formats (Adv. Mater. 11/2018)

Deterministic assembly of CMOS microchips is demonstrated as a promising route to 3D, heterogeneously integrated microsystems, in which biodegradable components sourced from commercial semiconductor foundries are employed as building blocks, to enable functional transformations by controlled transience based on coupled physical and electrical processes. Demonstration examples range from logic gates and analog circuits to multilayer systems that undergo multistage transformation, as discussed in article number 1704955 by John A. Rogers and co-workers. Image designed by Jan-Kai Chang.
