S-RuM Technology for Miniaturization and Integration of Electronics and Microfluidics
Abstract:
Self-rolled-up membrane (S-RuM) technology is a paradigm-shifting fabrication scheme for extreme miniaturization and integration of passive electronic, photonic and microfluidic components. The overarching physical principle of S-RuM is strain-driven spontaneous deformation of 2D membranes into 3D architectures. Complex 3D structures formed by S-RuM enable advanced functionalities that are otherwise out of reach. There is practically no limit upon the complexity or configuration of L-C circuits which can be made in the manner of S-RuM, all with one mask set. In this talk, I will present several examples of S-RuM based applications including inductors, transformers, and L-C filters, as well as microfluidic channels for neuron cell growth acceleration and DNA-based data storage.
