The role of stretchable electronics systems allows the design of new reconfigurable macro-electronics, that extends a device capability to function as a distributed sensor network which can potentially be used for wearable electronics. At the moment such devices are primarily based on polymeric materials such as PDMS or Polyimide.

Nevertheless, silicon has been the predominant material in electronics for decades. For this reason, we selected silicon as the base material structure for a hexagonal islands network, which are connected through spiral springs to form an ultra-stretchable arrangement. In this work we simulated a spiral tether structure for stretchable and adaptable electronic systems.
