Metal-organic Dual Layer Structure for Stretchable Interconnects

Color-tunable mixed photoluminescence emission from Alq3 organic layer in metal-Alq3-metal surface plasmon structure

This work reports the color-tunable mixed photoluminescence (PL) emission from an Alq3 organic layer in an Au-Alq3-Au plasmonic structure through the combination of organic fluorescence emission and another form of emission that is enabled by the surface plasmons in the plasmonic structure. The emission wavelength of the latter depends on the Alq3 thickness and can be tuned within the Alq3 fluo...

High performance of CNT-interconnects by the multi-layer structure

Article history: Received 28 October 2013 Received in revised form 5 December 2013 Accepted 26 December 2013 Available online 24 January 2014 In this work, we propose two carbon nanotube (CNT) network fabrication processes, the normal spin rate coating (NR) and the slow spin rate coating (SR), and two interconnect structures, the single layer structure (SL) and the double layer structure (DL), ...

Transparent and Stretchable Metal Electrodes

Thin layers of lamellar-forming polystyrene-block-poly (methyl-methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) provide the templates for fabricating nanowires with a “fingerprint” morphology. The electrical characteristics of the nanowires were measured, and largely deviated from simulated devices due to high defect density. Their highly curved conformation makes the nanowires strong candidates for electrical testin...

Stretchable microelectrode array using room-temperature liquid alloy interconnects

In this paper, we present a stretchable microelectrode array for studying cell behavior under mechanical strain. The electrode array consists of gold-plated nail-head pins (250 μm tip diameter) or tungsten micro-wires (25.4 μm in diameter) inserted into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) platform (25.4 × 25.4 mm2). Stretchable interconnects to the outside were provided by fusible indium-alloy-filled...
