  1. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) assembly into packages that interface with the environment is critical in electronic sensor applications ranging from soft biomedical systems to telecommunications. This article presents a novel process using heat-depolymerizable polyethylene carbonate (QPAC-25) as a sacrificial tether, and demonstrates it for assembling waferbound MEMS onto wires. The assembly mechanism is thermal removal of the tether, allowing a strained layer to pop up from the substrate and make electrical and mechanical contact with the wire. We detail the QPAC-25 fabrication procedures, characterize the relationship between QPAC-25 thickness and spin speed and determine a route to pattern QPAC-25 without a metal hard mask or photosensitizers
