Abstract: Soft electronic devices are becoming increasingly important for both consumer electronics and healthcare applications. By utilizing advanced microfabrication techniques, electronic packaging, and materials design, it is possible to create functional systems that can integrate seamlessly with the human body. These devices have a low mechanical modulus, which allows them to make intimate and unobstructed contact with biological surfaces, enhancing the tissue-device coupling efficiency, thus improved bio-sensing signal qualities. In this presentation, I will discuss a primary method used to engineer soft electronic devices, including the use of intrinsically soft materials and geometrically structural designs.
