During the past decades, there have been leaps in the development of micro/nano retinal implant technologies, which is one of the emerging applications in neural interfaces to restore vision. However, higher feedthroughs within a limited space are needed for more complex electronic systems and precise neural modulations. Active implantable medical electronics are required to have good electrical and mechanical properties, such as being small, light, and biocompatible, and with low power consumption and minimal immunological reactions during long-term implantation. For this purpose, high-density implantable packaging and flexible microelectrode arrays (fMEAs) as well as high-performance coating materials for retinal stimulation are crucial to achieve high resolution. In this review, we mainly focus on the considerations of the high-feedthrough encapsulation of implantable biomedical components to prolong working life, and fMEAs for different implant sites to deliver electrical stimulation to targeted retinal neuron cells. In addition, the functional electrode materials to achieve superior stimulation efficiency are also reviewed. The existing challenge and future research directions of micro/nano technologies for retinal implant are briefly discussed at the end of the review.

Soluble functional (co)polyimides are of great interest in the area of separation processes or optical applications, due to their excellent mechanical-, thermal- and optical properties, their superior processability and the ability to adapt their properties to a wide range of special applications. Therefore, two series of novel (co)polyimides containing fluorinated sulfur- and carboxylic acid groups consisting of 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)di(phthalic anhydride) (6FDA), 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA), 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfide (4,4′-SDA) and 3,3′-diaminodiphenylsulfone (3,3′-DDS) were synthesized in a two-step polycondensation reaction. The synthesized copolymers were characterized by using NMR, FTIR, GPC, and DSC. Furthermore, with regard to processing and potential applications, the thermal stability, solubility in common organic solvents, moisture uptake, and transparency were investigated. Compared to commercially available transparent polymers, i.e., polymethylmethacrylate and cycloolefin polymers, the sulfur (co)polyimides containing carboxyl groups showed much higher glass-transition temperatures, comparably low moisture uptake and high transmission at the sodium D-line. Furthermore, good solubility in commonly used organic solvents makes them very attractive as high-performance coating materials.

Future Research Directions

Developing various nanosensors with superior performance for accurate and sensitive detection of some physical signals is essential for advances in electronic systems. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a unique semiconductor material with wide bandgap (3.37 eV) and high exciton binding energy (60 meV) at room temperature. ZnO nanostructures have been investigated extensively for possible use as high-performance sensors, due to their excellent optical, piezoelectric and electrochemical properties, as well as the large surface area. In this review, we primarily introduce the morphology and major synthetic methods of ZnO nanomaterials, with a brief discussion of the advantages and weaknesses of each method. Then, we mainly focus on the recent progress in ZnO nanosensors according to the functional classification, including pressure sensor, gas sensor, photoelectric sensor, biosensor and temperature sensor. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the research status and constraints for the development of ZnO nanosensor in each category. Finally, the challenges and future research directions of nanosensors based on ZnO are prospected and summarized. It is of profound significance to research ZnO nanosensors in depth, which will promote the development of artificial intelligence, medical and health, as well as industrial, production.

Multilayered nanocomposites, known for its mechanical properties of very high flow strength, ultra-light weight and stable plastic flow to large strains, represent a class of novel composite nanomaterials in which there arises rare opportunities to design new materials from the ground up and to tailor their properties to suit exactly their performance requirements. These materials can withstand very high strains in the elastic regime without any inelastic relaxation due to plasticity or fracture compared to its bulk counterparts. This extended elastic regime opens up new possibilities for tuning the physical and chemical properties of materials as well as bringing novel functionalities, such as high performance coating materials with online strain monitoring capability. Our resistivity measurements during ex situ uniaxial micropillar compression in this article suggests basic feasibility of a Cu–Nb multilayered nanocomposite with 20 nm layer thickness having a novel functionality for online strain monitoring capability, in addition to its more known application as a high performance coating materials due to its extraordinary strength and deformability. A linear trend of resistivity with respect to true strain for strains in excess of 3.5% was observed and suggests a significant regime for use for strain sensor/detection/monitoring capability.

High Density Packaging

High density packaging of semiconductor devices is necessary for high performance in compact electronic systems. But the assembly technology must also remain cost attractive.Through the development efforts conducted during the past years in the world, the Tape Automated Bonding – TAB – has become the assembly technology allowing a very high density packaging. In combination with substrate technology it has grown into a complete, cost effective, micropackaging concept.The paper describes the main technical characteristics of this packaging concept. Specific equipments for TAB were designed and built by CII-Honeywell Bull for installation in the factory. These equipments are not only those, directly related to the TAB technology processing steps but include also other equipments like high precision thick film printer.The main features of the new micropackaging facility are also presented. Some examples of high density packages built with tape automated bonding are described and some of the main quality and reliability aspects are discussed.

Wearable Electronic Device

With the increasing demand for high-performance electronic devices in smart textiles, various types of flexible/wearable electronic device (i.e., supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells, etc.) have emerged regularly. As one of the most promising wearable devices, flexible supercapacitors from a variety of electrode materials have been developed. In particular, carbon materials from lignocellulosic biomass precursor have the characteristics of low cost, natural abundance, high specific surface area, excellent electrochemical stability, etc. Moreover, their chemical structures usually contain a large number of heteroatomic groups, which greatly contribute to the capacitive performance of the corresponding flexible supercapacitors. This review summarizes the working mechanism, configuration of flexible electrodes, conversion of lignocellulosic biomass-derived carbon electrodes, and their corresponding electrochemical properties in flexible/wearable supercapacitors. Technology challenges and future research trends will also be provided.

ABSTRACTScratch resistant transparent organically modified sol-gel materials typically utilize organics as acrylates, or pre-polymer silicon or carbon backbone material. The use of diepoxide monomers within a sol-gel matrix has yet to be described as a means of obtaining high performance coating materials. This paper describes the preparation and characterization of UV curable inorganic-organic hybrid glass materials based on the incorporation of cycloaliphatic diepoxide monomers into a sol-gel composition of TEOS and the epoxide silane coupling agent glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane. We report aging and humidity studies along with processing conditions that affect the silicate distribution and cationic cure of the diepoxide resin based on solution and solid state NMR experiments. Mechanical analysis of thin films prepared by varying processing conditions and length of the diepoxide backbone are also discussed.
