Abstract

One important aspect of stretchable electronics design is to shield the active devices from strains through insertion of a soft layer between devices and substrate. An analytical model is established, which gives linear dependence of strain isolation on the reciprocal of strain-isolation layer thickness, and the reciprocal of device and substrate stiffness. Strain isolation is also linearly proportional to the shear modulus of strain-isolation layer and square of device length.
