Stretchable form of single crystal silicon for high performance electronics on rubber substrates

A stretchable electronic circuit comprising:

• a flexible substrate having a supporting surface;
• and
• an electronic circuit having a plurality of integrated device components selected from the group consisting of:
• a semiconductor element;
• a dielectric element;
• an electrode;
• a conductive element;
• and a doped semiconductor element, the electronic circuit further having an internal surface, wherein discrete points of said internal surface are bonded to said supporting surface of said flexible substrate and said discrete points of bonding are separated from each other by a buckled region of the electronic circuit that is not directly bound to said flexible substrate, wherein said buckled region of the electronic circuit is not in physical contact with the supporting surface of the flexible substrate.
