Abstract
Electronic devices made from heterostructures of 2D layers, 3D nanomembranes, and metallic contacts can realize performance benefits over traditional Silicon-based devices while also exhibiting physical properties such as flexibility and transparency. These novel materials have the potential to unlock new electronic form factors, greatly increasing the applicability of electronic devices. Flexible, biocompatible devices are particularly sought after to facilitate in-vivo health sensing. The diversity of 2D and 3D nanomembrane materials, however, necessitates that many different processes be developed for their production. Often, novel materials must be grown on special wafers to avoid lattice mismatch and ensure crystallinity, then transferred to the host substrate, where the device will be assembled. Such transfer processes introduce risks for damage to the device and complicate the feasibility of large-scale production.
In this independent study, a basis for a flexible micro-LED display was fabricated by optimizing a dry transfer process for placing a 2D-material-based field effect transistor array onto a flexible silicon-based elastomer substrate
