Imec Demonstrates Electronics that Flex and Stretch like Skin

September 19, 2012

Leuven (Belgium) – Sept. 18, 2012 – Imec announced today that it has integrated an ultra-thin, flexible chip with bendable and stretchable interconnects into a package that adapts dynamically to curving and bending surfaces. The resulting circuitry can be embedded in medical and lifestyle applications where user comfort and unobtrusiveness is key, such as wearable health monitors or smart clothing. At the 2012 ESTC conference (Electronics System Integration Technology Conference) in Amsterdam (September 17-20, 2012), the researchers will present their results and showcase their latest demonstrations.

Today most electronic appliances are rigid, or at most, mechanically flexible. A growing number of applications, however, … Read More → "Imec Demonstrates Electronics that Flex and Stretch like Skin"
