Biodegradable light emitting diode

Biodegradable electronic devices are attracting tremendous research interest in various applications like biomedical and environmental. For example, the transient implants with biodegradable materials eliminate the need for second extraction surgeries. Various optics are applied in the biomedical and environmental scenario, but very limited research has explored the possibility of biodegradable light emitting diode as light source. 
This MSc project will focus on the development of a biodegradable light emitting diode, exploring structure design, fabrication (cleanroom) and characterization. 

Assignment

This project is taking place at ECTM/EI and executed to a large share in the Kavli and EKL cleanroom facilities. 
It will include the following activities:
•    A review of state-of-the-art light-emitting-diode for biological application;
•    Structure design and material selection of novel biodegradable light emitting diode;
•    Cleanroom microfabrication (Kavli and EKL) of biodegradable light emitting diode;
•    Characterization of biodegradable light emitting diode;
•    Reporting.
The graduation project will have a total duration of 9 to 12 months.

Requirements
