Abstract:
1. An implantable biomedical device for actuating a target tissue or sensing a parameter associated with the target tissue in a biological environment, said device comprising: a bioresorbable substrate; an electronic device comprising a plurality of inorganic semiconductor components supported by said bioresorbable substrate, wherein at least one of said inorganic semiconductor components has at least one physical dimension less than or equal to 100 microns; and a barrier layer encapsulating at least a portion of said inorganic semiconductor components, wherein upon contact with said biological environment said bioresorbable substrate is at least partially resorbed, thereby establishing conformal contact between said implantable biomedical device and said target tissue in said biological environment.
