Abstract:
1. A multisurfaced microdevice system array, comprising: a plurality of semiconductor substrates, each having a first and a second surface; a plurality of sensing, controlling and actuating microdevices disposed at locations on at least one of the surfaces of each substrate, at least one of the substrates extending from another substrate to form a multisurfaced structure having a multifaced configuration including at least two outer faces and at least two inner faces, the plurality of substrates and the plurality of microdevices forming a microdevice system; and a plurality of the microdevice systems disposed to form a readily extendable microdevice system array, each microdevice system of the array having the capability of communicating operating energy and data to at least one other microdevice system, the array providing economical and efficient redundancies of microdevices to perform a plurality of functions, some of which require specific microdevice orientations provided by angular dispositions, including acute, right, obtuse, straight and reflex angles, of the surfaces of the multifaced microdevice systems.
