Classification of materials from rigid to soft. Conventional Si-based materials need to be replaced by new materials to realize soft (flexible/stretchable) electronics. With good electrical and mechanical properties, materials such as a-Si, organic polymer, nanowires, and nano-carbon materials are good candidates for next-generation soft applications.
