With its unprecedented properties over conventional rigid platforms, flexible electronics have been a significant research topic in the last decade, offering a broad range of applications from bendable display, flexible solar-energy systems, to soft implantable-devices for health monitoring. Flexible electronics for harsh and hazardous environments have also been extensively investigated. In particular, devices with stretchability and bend-ability as well as tolerance to extreme and toxic operating conditions are imperative. This work presents silicon carbide grown on silicon and then transferred onto polyimide substrate as ...

Flexible electronics for harsh and hazardous environments have also been extensively investigated. In particular, devices with stretchability and bend-ability as well as tolerance to extreme and toxic operating conditions are imperative. This work presents silicon carbide grown on silicon and then transferred onto polyimide substrate as a new platform for flexible sensors for hostile environments. Combining the excellent electrical properties of SiC and high temperature tolerance of polyimide, we demonstrated for the first time a flexible SiC sensors that can work above 400 °C. This new sensing platform opens exciting opportunities toward flexible sensing applications in hazardous environments.
