Implantable Biomedical Devices

چکیده
Almost a decade after the invention of the first semiconductor transistor in 1948, it took around a decade for the revolutionary technology to evolve from producing single devices to the integration of a few transistors as the first integrated circuit in 1958. Since then, integrated circuits have been in continuous progress for more than half a century as predicted by the well-known Moore’s law. While integrated circuits still continue their progress with the same exponential pace, it is almost a decade that a new branch of science and technology has emerged, known as integrated microsystems. This can be taken as the natural technological evolution from individual circuit chips and non-circuit modules, e.g., microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices, and subsequently to complete systems in small physical dimensions and with light weight. Integrated microsystems have opened windows of hope to providing efficient solutions to some of the problems that have not been resolvable by any other means so far.

MEMS Based Broadband Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Energy Harvester (PUEH) for Enabling Self-Powered Implantable Biomedical Devices.
Acoustic energy transfer is a promising energy harvesting technology candidate for implantable biomedical devices. However, it does not show competitive strength for enabling self-powered implantable biomedical devices due to two issues - large size of bulk piezoelectric ultrasound transducers and output power fluctuation with transferred distance due to standing wave. Here we report a microele...
