- Abstract
Stretchable circuit is a technological innovation that has transformed the microelectronic landscape due to its enormous applications in the field of medicine. The consistency or durability of health monitoring devices can increase the dependability with which non-invasive clinical measures are collected. Metal–conductive polymer (CP) hybrid interconnects and metal–polyimide dual-layered interconnects were all produced as stretchable interconnections. Stretchable substrate for all of the interconnects was selected as soft elastomer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). However, the PDMS substrate presents challenges because it is temperature sensitive, limiting the process temperature. The extreme hydrophobic nature of the PDMS surface makes it difficult to deposit components that contain water and results in poor adhesion with different metals. Following the development of processes for fabricating materials on the PDMS substrate, methods for resolving these issues were investigated.
