The parameters to be measured, and hence the types of sensors, depend on the target application.…”

“…Often thermal budget issue hinders the direct integration of these components on flexible substrates. Further, compared to the conventional technology developed on Si wafers, the high surface roughness and porosity of flexible and stretchable substrates typically used in e-skin applications, 5,6,16,50,57,211 hinder the improvement of the component density per unit area. In this regard, there is a growing research on assembly techniques that allow effective transferring and positioning of micro-and nano-components (sensors, capacitors, transistors, lasers) at specific places along a receiver substrate.…”

Energy autonomy is key to the next generation portable and wearable systems for several applications. Among these, the electronic-skin or e-skin is currently a matter of intensive investigations due to its wider applicability in areas, ranging from robotics to digital health, fashion and internet of things (IoT). The high density of multiple types of electronic components (e.g. sensors, actuators, electronics, etc.) required in e-skin, and the need to power them without adding heavy batteries, have fuelled the development of compact flexible energy systems to realize self-powered or energy-autonomous e-skin. The compact and wearable energy systems consisting of energy harvesters, energy storage devices, low-power electronics and efficient/wireless power transfer-based technologies, are expected to revolutionize the market for wearable systems and in particular for e-skin. This paper reviews the development in the field of self-powered e-skin, particularly focussing on the available energy-harvesting technologies, high capacity energy storage devices, and high efficiency power transmission systems. The paper highlights the key challenges, critical design strategies, and most promising materials for the development of an energy-autonomous e-skin for robotics, prosthetics and wearable systems. This paper will complement other reviews on e-skin, which have focussed on the type of sensors and electronics components.

“…Therefore, e-skin is an indispensable component for humanoids and human-computer interactions. Despite considerable developments and demonstrations of multi-sensing skin [4] and self-powered e-skin [5], several fundamental requirements still need to be fulfilled to maximize the potential of this technology. The most striking requirements T his work was supported in part by EPSRC under Project EP/M013650/1, and EU under Projects DOMINO 645760, 1D-NEON 685758 and BET-EU 692373, IEEE Electron Devices Society PhD Student Fellowship, and China Scholarship Council.…”

Flexible Ultralow-Power Sensor Interfaces for E-Skin

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Thin-film electronics has hugely benefitted from low-cost processes, large-area processability, and multi-functionality. This has not only stimulated innovation in display and sensor technology, but has also demonstrated great potential for integration of components for human-machine interfaces. For electronics to be deployed as sensor interfaces and signal processing, the quest for low power is compelling due to the inherently limited battery lifetime. This review will present the state-of-the-art in thin film electronics and demonstrate examples of low-cost printable transistors and biosensors that are flexible/stretchable for wearable and other applications. Ultralow power design for thin-film transistors will be discussed from the standpoint of reducing both operating voltage and operating current, taking into account the challenges in meeting frequency requirements. Compact models for circuit design will be reviewed along with new insights into ultralow power transistors and high gain amplifier circuits. Finally, a concept for an integrated system comprising sensors and interfacing circuits will be demonstrated, which has the potential to enable battery-less operation.
