| description | —Flexible and stretchable circuits have recently
gained traction in the market due to the popularity of wearables
and the rapid advancement in microsensors, big data and the
Internet of Everything. For devices to be truly wearable, they
need to conform to the shape of the human body, allowing ease
of use, with sensors being pervasive but not intrusive. To allow
this, electronics engineers need to shift their mindsets of
manufacturing transistors, circuits and sensors on rigid planar
surfaces to flexible, multidimensional and free-form substrates.
This review manuscript describes the motivation for designing
such circuits, its fabrication techniques, design considerations,
performance evaluation and applications. It is expected that
stretchable circuits will be a new way forward for integrated
circuit technology and will continue to push the boundaries of
manufacturing processes in the years to come. |
