Integrating Hard Silicon for High‑Performance Soft Electronics via Geometry Engineering

Caption

  • Crystalline silicon (c-Si) is one of the most mature and reliable materials for high-performance electronic devices and has garnered widespread attention in the field of flexible electronics.
  • This article examines the detailed transition enabled by geometry engineering from "3D bulk materials" to "2D thin films," and ultimately to "1D nanowires," highlighting the advancements and challenges in enhancing the flexibility and mechanical properties of c-Si.
  • We emphasize the forefront applications of silicon nanowires in wearable electronics and healthcare, aiming to accelerate the rapid development of c-Si within the realm of flexible electronics.
