Abstract

In this research study, we present comprehensive characterizations of flexible silicon sensors fabricated using controlled spalling which uses fracture to produce thin films of single-crystal silicon directly from a bulk substrate. We characterized the property of the thin silicon film for sensing strain and temperature. The flexible sensor exhibits high sensitivity with a temperature coefficient of resistance of -0.16/°C, which is desirable for targeted health monitoring applications.
