Researchers at Incheon National University, South Korea comprehensively review the latest advances, potential applications, and future prospects of this cutting-edge technology
Ultra-thin crystalline silicon is an exciting material for next-generation bioelectronics, transforming rigid silicon into flexible nanomembranes while preserving superior electrical performance and CMOS compatibility.
A new review paper systematically explores its manufacturing roadmap – from high-temperature on-wafer processes like oxidation and doping, through transfer printing techniques, to diverse applications including wearable health monitors, electrophysiological sensors, personalized neuromodulation, bio-integrated prosthetics, and bioresorbable implants that dissolve post-use.
Silicon has been the foundation of modern electronics for decades, yet it has traditionally been regarded as incompatible with soft, dynamic biological systems due to its rigidity. [Read more…] about Scientists outline manufacturing roadmap for ultra-thin silicon bioelectronics
