Versatile On-Chip Programming of Circuit Hardware for Wearable and Implantable Biomedical Microdevices.

ABSTRACT: Wearable and implantable microscale electronic sensors have been developed for a range of biomedical applications. The sensors, typically millimeter size silicon microchips, are sought for multiple sensing functions but are severely constrained by size and power. To address these challenges, a hardware programmable application-specific integrated circuit design is proposed and post-process methodology is exemplified by the design of battery-less wireless microchips. Specifically, both mixed-signal and radio frequency circuits are designed by incorporating metal fuses and anti-fuses on the top metal layer to enable programmability of any number of features in hardware of the system-on-chip (SoC) designs. This is accomplished in post-foundry editing by combining laser ablation and focused io
