    摘要: The disclosed antenna structures and electronic microsystems are capable of physically disappearing in a controlled, triggerable manner. Some variations provide an on-chip transient antenna comprising a semiconductor substrate containing ion-implanted hydrogen atoms and a conductor network comprising metals bridged by low-melting-temperature metals. Some variations provide an off-chip transient antenna comprising a flexible substrate containing a polymer, nanoporous silicon particles, and an oxidant for silicon, and a conductor network comprising metals bridged by low-melting-temperature metals. Other variations provide a method of introducing physical transience to a semiconductor integrated circuit, comprising thinning a substrate from the back side, implanting hydrogen ions into the thinned substrate to introduce latent structural flaws, depositing a semiconductor integrated circuit or sensor chip, and providing a controllable heating source capable of activating the latent structural flaws. These novel approaches are compatible with existing integrated circuits processing, preserve antenna performance, and use foundry-compatible techniques.
