Abstract Silicon integrated circuits (ICs) are central to the next-generation miniature active neural implants, whether packaged in soft polymers for flexible bioelectronics or implanted as bare die probes. These emerging applications bring IC closer corrosive body environment, raising reliability concerns, particularly chronic use.
