Abstract

Electronics, which functions for a designed time period and then degrades, holds promise in lots of areas, including medical implants, disposable electronic devices and data securing hardware. Here, we report a new type of transient electronics that is triggered through electrochemical-mechanical manner with robust and reliable mechanical design, low triggering voltage and fast transient characteristics. Such device is constructed through integrating electrochemical-mechanically triggered MEMS module with functional electronics. The electrochemical-mechanical triggering mechanism in this device opens up new vistas for transient electronics designs. Various materials and different type of electronics has been demonstrated.
