The ultrathin foil is temporarily adhered to a reusable support (Figure 1a). This allows all subsequent processing steps to be scalable by adopting a roll-to-roll fabrication scheme. Ultrathin poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) and poly (ethylene naphthalate)(PEN) foils with thickness in the micrometer range are commercially available at low cost in rolls for foil capacitors [22, 23](Figure 1 b). After fabrication, the foil is simply peeled from the temporary support. Weighing only 3 g/m 2, our ultrathin electronic foils float on soap films (Figure 1 c, and Video S1 in the Supporting Information), and intimately conform to complex 3D objects like printed circuit boards (Figure 1 d), creating a form of electronic plastic kitchen wrap. A one-step transfer process of the wrap to a soft material, like a pre-stretched elastomer, results in a functional hybrid that paves the way for high-performance rigid-island–stretchable-interconnect electronic systems. Strips with surfacemounted device (SMD) LEDs mounted on such a composite of elastomer and ultrathin foil survive twisting and stretching without having their functionality impaired (Figure 1 e). We first demonstrate the use of imperceptible electronic films as sensitive and compliant temperature sensors on printed circuit boards (Figure 2a), food items (Figure 2 b) and human skin (Figure S1, Supporting Information). 100-nm-thick films of gold, copper, aluminum, and silver are thermally evaporated onto flat 1.4-µm-thick PET foils. The extremely small bending radius allows the sensor foil to wrap tightly around the electronic components of the printed circuit board and to monitor the exponential rise and the saturation of the temperature during device operation (Figure 2 a). Placed on a package of frozen fish, the thin-film sensors measure the complete defrosting period of the fish (more than 15 h) with remarkable accuracy (Figure 2 b). A thin water film forms on the sensor foil during melting, which is reflected in a small increase of noise during the temperature recording. These harsh conditions, however, do not impair the reliability of the measurement. Precise spatio-temporal temperature mapping on the human skin is an important tool for diagnostics.[18] Attached to the nose, our sensors follow on-skin temperature changes induced by drinking a cup of hot tea and subsequently a glass of cold water (Figure S1, Supporting Information). Our approach does not require microstructuring techniques and is a low-cost solution for accurate temperature recording where ultrahigh spatial resolution is not needed. Details of the calibration and the temperature coefficients of the resistivity of the thin metal films used are given in Figure S2 in the Supporting Information. The thin-film-sensor temperature recordings on the integrated electronic circuit, on the food package, and on-skin show remarkable agreement with infrared camera recordings (Figure 2 a, b and Figure S1 in the Supporting Information) and fortify the sensor’s potential as a low-cost solution for consumer electronics survey, food quality monitoring, and disposable patches in healthcare.Electronics is evolving from accompanying appliances to an imperceptible form, wearable as glasses, textiles [1] and medical prostheses,[2] directly adherent to the skin [3] or inner organs like the heart [4] and the brain,[5] establishing a seamless link between living beings and electronic devices. Biodegradable,[6, 7] transient [8] and edible [9–11] forms of electronics provide further opportunities for applications in healthcare, food, and environmental quality monitoring.[12–14] Flexibility, compliance, weight, and softness will turn out to be key metrics in next-generation smart electronic appliances.
