Description
Summary:With recent progress in the design of materials and mechanics, opportunities have arisen to improve optoelectronic devices, circuits, and systems in curved, flexible, stretchable, and biocompatible formats, thereby enabling integration of customized optoelectronic devices and biological systems. Here, the core material technologies of biointegrated optoelectronic platforms are discussed. An overview of the design and fabrication methods to form semiconductor materials and devices in flexible and stretchable formats is presented, strategies incorporating various heterogeneous substrates, interfaces, and encapsulants are discussed, and their applications in biomimetic, wearable, and implantable systems are highlighted. Recent developments in flexible/stretchable optoelectronic devices including the design of semiconductor materials and mechanics, emerging methods for device fabrication, and the strategies to integrate heterogeneous substrates, interfaces, and encapsulants are discussed. The applications of the resulting biointegrated optoelectronics in biomimetic systems, epidermal/wearable sensors, and implantable devices are highlighted.
