This paper reports on an electronic eye-like camera based on single-crystal silicon that makes use of two ingenious fabrication steps; first, optoelectronic circuits at waver-scale in unusual, two-dimensionally compressible configurations are constructed and second, suitable elastomeric elements to transfer these planar layouts into hemispherical geometries are designed. It is expected that the strategy provides practical routes for integrating well planar device technologies onto the surfaces of complex curvilinear objects.
