Method to transfer entire 2D circuits to any smooth surface

Science Daily  December 6, 2018
A team of researchers in the US (Rice University, Georgia State University) transferred a complete 2D multilayer InSe photodetector device onto a stripped optical fiber. They found that the near-field sensor effectively coupled with an evanescent field and accurately detected the flow of information inside. The benefit is that these sensors can now be imbedded into such fibers where they can monitor performance without adding weight or hindering the signal flow. They used polydimethylglutarimide (PMGI) as a device fabrication platform to etch and transfer to the target. They have developed passive sensors so far but believe their technique will make active sensors or devices possible for telecommunication, biosensing, plasmonics and other applications…read more.
