Moore with less silicon: How the silicon substrate slowly comes alive

There has been much attention for the tremendous developments integrated circuit technology has went through. The focus is always on the size and speed of the devices. In past years, however, the substrate itself also underwent remarkable developments. This has resulted in silicon-on-glass technology and flexible circuits. The future holds even more, with stretchable circuits and even LivingChips on the horizon. The following article presents an overview.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
