Deployable 3D architectures from wafer-fabricated precursors
Yue Wang, Kelvin Shum, Yuyang Song, Tian Chen
Abstract We demonstrate that standard wafer fabrication can produce free-standing, mechanically stable, doubly-curved 3D structures with prescribed Gaussian curvature — a capability not previously achieved through semiconductor manufacturing. The stability of the deployed structu…
