Abstract

While it seems counterintuitive to think of degradation within an operating device as beneficial, one may argue that when rationally designed, the controlled breakdown of materials— physical, chemical, or biological—can be harnessed for specific functions. To apply this principle to the design of morphing devices, we introduce the concept of "Degrade to Function" (DtF). This concept aims to create eco-friendly and self-contained morphing devices that operate through a sequence of environmentally-triggered degradations. We explore its design considerations and implementation techniques by identifying environmental conditions and degradation types that can be exploited, evaluating potential materials capable of controlled degradation, suggesting designs for structures that can leverage degradation to achieve various transformations and functions, and developing sequential control approaches that integrate degradation triggers. To demonstrate the viability and versatility of this design strategy, we showcase several application examples across a range of environment conditions.

DeMorph: Morphing Devices Functioning via Sequential Degradation
UIST Adjunct '24: Adjunct Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology

While it may initially seem counterintuitive to view degradation within an operating system as advantageous, one could argue that, when intentionally designed, the controlled breakdown of materials—whether physical, chemical, or biological—can be ...
Degradation of AlGaN/GaN HEMT devices

Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted We provide give an overview on the most common degradation processes of GaN-based HEMTs.We describe the time-dependence of gate degradation mechanism during off-state tests.The influence of the reverse voltage as ...
Threshold voltage degradation under high Vgs and low Vds on 200V SOI power devices

The hot-carrier degradation behavior of the 200V lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor and lateral diffused MOS transistor both on SOI substrates (SOI-LIGBT and SOI-LDMOS) under high Vgs and low Vds is experimentally investigated. It is shown that ...
