David A. Icke, CEO, mc10, Inc.: "Electronics Anywhere: Conformal, Stretchable Electronics Using Novel Mechanics & Conventional Materials"
New Form Factors (example cited: balloon catheter with active electronics located on expandable segment) is pursued by mc10 using flexible Si Nanoribbons devices made with conventional CMOS process techniques can be transferred to polymer substrates then encapsulated with additional polymer; advanced pleated form factors can be used to improve conformality performance over complex shapes such as spheres etc.; stretch can be accommodated by employing mechanical bridge with freedom to move vertically vs. plane of circuitry, good for stretching 20 – 40%, otherwise serpentine shaped bridges could be employed.
