摘要 |
The present invention provides an electrochemical timer device ( 110 ) having a source ( 101 ) and a drain ( 102 ) contact. The device further comprises a switch channel ( 104 ) and a delay reservoir ( 103 ) that are electrochemically interconnected with a gate electrode ( 105 ). The switch channel ( 104 ) interconnects the source ( 101 ) and drain ( 102 ) contacts and is arranged to change electrical conductivity upon electrochemistry therein, and an electrochemical reaction is arranged to occur in the gate electrode ( 105 ) and delay reservoir ( 103 ) upon application of a drive voltage there between. The delay reservoir ( 103 ) is arranged such that the electrochemical reaction occurring therein gradually moves towards the switch channel ( 104 ) and eventually reaches the switch channel ( 104 ) after a delay time thereby changing the electrical conductivity of the switch channel ( 104 ).
