“…Many other materials options are also available. 91,95,96 Figure 7b shows images of a representative device platform that includes Inorganic semiconducting materials KJ Yu et al inductors, capacitors, resistors, diodes, transistors, and interconnects and encapsulants all integrated on silk substrate, where the key defining characteristics are high-performance operation with constituent materials that are completely water soluble to biologically and environmentally safe end products. Figure 7b (bottom frames) illustrates the disintegration and dissolution of such a system in deionized water.…”

Recent progress in the synthesis and deterministic assembly of advanced classes of single crystalline inorganic semiconductor nanomaterial establishes a foundation for high-performance electronics on bendable, and even elastomeric, substrates. The results allow for classes of systems with capabilities that cannot be reproduced using conventional wafer-based technologies. Specifically, electronic devices that rely on the unusual shapes/forms/constructs of such semiconductors can offer mechanical properties, such as flexibility and stretchability, traditionally believed to be accessible only via comparatively low-performance organic materials, with superior operational features due to their excellent charge transport characteristics. Specifically, these approaches allow integration of high-performance electronic functionality onto various curvilinear shapes, with linear elastic mechanical responses to large strain deformations, of particular relevance in bio-integrated devices and bio-inspired designs. This review summarizes some recent progress in flexible electronics based on inorganic semiconductor nanomaterials, the key associated design strategies and examples of device components and modules with utility in biomedicine.

“…Furthermore, we fabricate complementary inverters that operate at supply voltages between 2.5 V and 3.5 V with a small-signal gain up to 60 and high balanced noise margin values of 82% at V DD ¼ 2.5 V. The natural source based cellulose films can be enzymatically digested with cellulase, as demonstrated by Mohan et al, 12 recommending cellulose films as suitable candidates for the dielectric layer in "green" electronics application. 13 Cellulose films are prepared by desilylation of trimethylsilyl cellulose (TMSC) (supplied by Thuringian Institute of Textile and Plastic Research), which is soluble in chloroform. A 50 nm thick film is spin coated from a 10 mg/ml solution.…”

We report on the natural source based and biodegradable material cellulose on Al2O3 as ultrathin hybrid high-k dielectric layer for applications in green electronics. Dielectric films of 16 nm cellulose (ε ≈ 8.4) and 8 nm Al2O3 (ε ≈ 9) exhibit low leakage currents up to electric fields of 1.5 MV/cm. Pentacene and C60 based organic thin film transistors show a well-balanced performance with operation voltages around 2 V. They are implemented in complementary inverters with excellent switching behavior, a small-signal gain up to 60 and with exceptionally high and balanced noise margin values of 82% at ultralow operation voltage (VDD = 2.5 V).

Optical technologies are essential for the rapid and efficient delivery of health care to patients. Efforts have begun to implement these technologies in miniature devices that are implantable in patients for continuous or chronic uses. In this review, we discuss guidelines for biomaterials suitable for use in vivo. Basic optical functions such as focusing, reflection, and diffraction have been realized with biopolymers. Biocompatible optical fibers can deliver sensing or therapeutic-inducing light into tissues and enable optical communications with implanted photonic devices. Wirelessly powered, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and miniature lasers made of biocompatible materials may offer new approaches in optical sensing and therapy. Advances in biotechnologies, such as optogenetics, enable more sophisticated photonic devices with a high level of integration with neurological or physiological circuits. With further innovations and translational development, implantable photonic devices offer a pathway to improve health monitoring, diagnostics, and light-activated therapies.
