Recent developments in the integration of ultra-thin silicon dies within a flexible film lead to a new paradigm. Indeed, thanks to the thinness and flexibility of devices, it is conceivable that functions can be added around any object without changing its aspect [1-5]. Currently, only electronic tracks between components are flexible in the major flexible electronic products on the market. This is due to the fact that the silicon components are already packaged or are too thick. In order to get fully-flexible devices, silicon dies have to be thinned to less than 100µm. Three formats can be p ..read more
