Abstract

An electrochemically actuatable electronic component comprises: a substrate; at least one first and one second actuating electrodes; at least one first and one second measuring electrodes; at least one storing electrode configured to free ions under the action of the actuating electrodes; at least one ionic conductor able to conduct the ions and that is located in a region placed between the measuring electrodes; a device suitable for: applying a voltage or a current between the first and second actuating electrodes to allow the migration of ions from the storing electrode to the first actuating electrode forming thereon an electrochemical deposition through the ionic conductor and for measuring, between the first and second measuring electrodes, a modification of at least one characteristic of the region placed between the first and second measuring electrodes, to determine at least one characteristic of the electronic component.
