Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a remotely controllable lens device. The lens device can include a lens material and a circuit physically coupled to the lens material. The circuit can be configured to be powered based on an energy signal from a power source to perform a function (e.g., release of drug, generation of electromagnetic radiation, detection of electromagnetic radiation, and/or control of an optical refractive property). For example, the power source can be an external power source and/or an auto-powered source. The external power source can be, for example, a power source that utilizes synchronized magnetic flux phase coupling (e.g., WiTricity). The auto-powered source can be provided on-site (e.g., on-chip) using a harvesting system (e.g., solar-cell, photo-cell, piezoelectric, etc.

Abstract: Provided is a method for separating a nanogenerator, which includes laminating a buffer layer on a sacrificial substrate, making a nanogenerator on the buffer layer, laminating a metal layer on the nanogenerator and separating the nanogenerator from the buffer layer. Here, a nanogenerator is separated by using a stress difference between the sacrificial substrate and the metal layer, instead of an existing method in which a nanogenerator is separated from the sacrificial substrate by means of wet etching or the like. In particular, according to a difference between a tensile stress at the metal layer such as nickel and a compressive stress at the lower silicon substrate, the nanogenerator is intactly separated from the silicon oxide layer serving as a buffer layer. Therefore, the nanogenerator may be separated from the sacrificial substrate in a mechanical way, which is safer and more economic in comparison to an existing chemical separation method using an etching solution.

Abstract: In contrast to a conventional planar CMOS technique in design and fabrication for a field-effect transistor (FET), the present invention provides an SGT CMOS device formed on a conventional substrate using various crystal planes in association with a channel type and a pillar shape of an FET, without a need for a complicated device fabrication process. Further, differently from a design technique of changing a surface orientation in each planar FET, the present invention is designed to change a surface orientation in each SGT to achieve improvement in carrier mobility. Thus, a plurality of SGTs having various crystal planes can be formed on a common substrate to achieve a plurality of different carrier mobilities so as to obtain desired performance.
