  • Patent number: 11908894
    Abstract: A method of making a deformable electronic device comprises forming a multilayer device structure comprising functional layers on a flexible substrate. At least one, some or all of the functional layers comprises a stack of 2D monolayers, and a number or proportion of misaligned interfaces within each stack of 2D monolayers is controlled to obtain a predetermined bending stiffness. Each of the misaligned interfaces comprises a twist angle and/or lattice mismatch between adjacent 2D monolayers. The functional layers may include electronically active layers and other layers having a dielectric, insulating, and/or protective function.

  • Publication number: 20230080531
    Abstract: Provided are biosensors, systems and related methods of using the biosensors and systems. The biosensor comprises a field-effect transistor (FET) having a crumpled geometry to effectively increase the detection sensitivity of a target molecule in an ionic solution. A FET having a crumpled semiconductor material channel can form a ?-? interaction with single stranded DNA (ssDNA) for amplification detection applications. Increasing amount of ssDNA in an amplification reaction solution is incorporated into an amplified double stranded DNA, with increasing amplification, resulting in a lower amount of ssDNA primers. The FET is contacted with the amplified solution to electrically detect an amount of ssDNA primer in the amplified solution, thereby detecting amplification based on a decreased amount of ssDNA bound to the FET. Also provided are biosensors that can detect biomolecules more generally, such as protein, polypeptides, polynucleotides, or small molecules.

  • Patent number: 9347840
    Abstract: This disclosure provides example methods, devices, and systems for a two dimensional material-based pressure sensor. A sensor device is provided that includes a substrate having a back electrode, a conductive layer in communication with the back electrode, and an insulating layer coupled to the conductive layer. The insulating layer includes one or more cavity regions. A sensor membrane comprising a two-dimensional material is disposed adjacent to the insulating layer and covering at least one of the one or more cavity regions. A first sensing electrode is in electrical communication with a first region of the sensor membrane, and a second sensing electrode is in communication with a second region of the sensor membrane. The sensor membrane is configured to respond to pressure changes exerted on the sensor device.
