The present study used a microelectronic neural bridge comprised of electrode arrays for neural signal detection, functional electrical stimulation, and a microelectronic circuit including signal amplifying, processing, and functional electrical stimulation to bridge two separate nerves, and to restore the lost function of one nerve. The left leg of one spinal toad was subjected to external mec...

This work bridges the gap between activities motivated from statistical signal processing, neuromorphic systems, and microelectronic implementation techniques for blind separation and recovery of mixed signals. The composition adopts both discrete-time and continuous-time formulations with a view towards implementations in the digital as well as the analog domains of microelectronic circuits. T...

his article provides an overview of the use of polymer adhesives in microelectronic packaging, with key applications including die attachment, underfills, and encapsulants. For many applications, polymer adhesives provide several advantages over alternative materials, and polymers have been widely used for die attachment. In flip-chip devices, polymers are being used for electrical interconnect...

Semiconductor spintronics is promising because it potentially allows creating data storages and processing elements that are smaller and consume less energy than present charge-based microelectronic devices. Silicon is an ideal material for spintronic applications due to the long spin lifetime in the bulk material. However, large spin relaxation was experimentally observed in gated silicon stru...

of performance with new vs used chips. This lowers the cost per SNP to almost one-third of the cost of using a new microelectronic chip and more lowers the cost compared with RFLP analysis by more than one-half. This is approximately the same cost reported by others for detecting eight SNPs on one test site simultaneously (€1.62 per SNP) (6 ). It should be noted, however, that purchase of the N...

Microelectronic circuits/arrays produced via high-speed printing instead of traditional photolithographic processes offer an appealing approach to creating the long-sought after, low-cost, large-area flexible electronics. Foremost among critical enablers to propel this paradigm shift in manufacturing is a stable, solution-processable, high-performance semiconductor for printing functionally cap...

The promise of molecular electronic devices stems from the possibilities offered by the rich electronic structure of organic molecules. The use of molecules as functional components in microelectronic devices has long been envisioned to augment or even replace silicon. However, the understanding of what controls charge transport in these devices involves complexities stemming from numerous vari...
