The device, placed underneath the foot in the shoe sole, will enable the collection of data for gait analysis, and provide an evaluation tool for foot and ankle treatments, after ankle surgery. The project is in a collaboration with the EPFL Laboratory of Movement Analysis and Measurement and the Orthopedic Hospital in Lausanne. The fabrication of the sensor is performed in the CMI cleanroom, with the dominant use of the techniques: metal/polymer thin film deposition, dry/wet etching, and photolithography. We use polyimide both as flexible substrate and as elastic dielectric in the sensory structure. In particular, we develop a technology for realization of polyimide micro-features with gentle slopes to facilitate subsequent metallization processes. Moreover, we report a process for the realization of polymeric films with custom-designed microporosity. The polyimide microfoams are microfabricated porous films realized by heat-induced depolymerization of polymer microstructures.
