S-RuM Technology for Extreme Miniaturization and Integration of Passive Electronics and Microfluidics

Strain-induced Self-rolled-up membrane (S-RuM) technology is a paradigm-shifting fabrication scheme for extreme miniaturization and integration of passive electronic, photonic and microfluidic components. The overarching physical principle of S-RuM is strain-driven spontaneous deformation of 2D membranes into 3D architectures. In this talk, I will present several examples of S-RuM based applications including inductors, transformers, L-C filters, and waveguides, as well as microfluidic channels for neuron cell growth acceleration and DNA-based data storage.
