摘要:
An apparatus incorporating small-feature size and large-feature-size components. The apparatus comprise a strap including a substrate with an integrated circuit contained therein. The integrated circuit coupling to a first conductor disposed on the substrate. The first conductor is made of a thermosetting or a thermoplastic material including conductive fillers. A large-scale component having a second conductor is electrically coupled to the first conductor to electrically couple the large-scale component to the integrated circuit. The large-scale component includes a second substrate.

Methods and apparatuses for assembling a structure onto a substrate. A method according to one aspect of the invention includes dispensing a slurry onto a substrate wherein the slurry includes a first plurality of elements, each of which is designed to mate with a receptor region on said substrate and each of which comprises a functional element, and wherein the slurry also includes a second plurality of elements which are not designed to mate with receptor regions on the substrate. Typically, these second plurality of elements help movement of the first plurality of elements.

摘要:
An electronic assembly. The assembly includes a substrate, a plurality of recessed regions, and a plurality of functional blocks. Each functional block is deposited in one of the recessed regions. A substantial amount of the plurality of functional blocks is recessed below a top surface of the substrate. Substantial amount is defined by any one of less than 10% of said functional blocks protrudes above the top surface of the substrate; less than 1% of the functional blocks protrudes above the top surface of the substrate; more than 90% of the functional blocks are recessed below the top surface of the substrate; or more than 99% of the functional blocks are recessed below the top surface of the substrate.
摘要:
A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device. The RFID device comprises an antenna assembly and a resonator assembly. The antenna assembly comprises a first substrate and an antenna element. The resonator assembly comprises a second substrate having an integrated circuit connected to a resonator loop. The first substrate and the second substrate are attached to one another. The integrated circuit electrically couples to the antenna element without a direct mechanical contact.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses for assembling elements onto a substrate. The surfaces of the elements and/or the substrate are treated and the elements are dispensed over the substrate in a slurry. In one example of the invention, the substrate is exposed to a surface treatment fluid to create a surface on the substrate which has a selected one of a hydrophilic or a hydrophobic nature, and a slurry is dispensed over the substrate. The slurry includes a fluid and a plurality of elements (each of which includes a functional component). Each of the plurality of elements is designed to be received by a receptor region on the substrate. The dispensing of the slurry with the fluid occurs after the substrate is exposed to the surface treatment fluid, and the fluid is the selected one of a hydrophilic or a hydrophobic nature. In another example of the invention, a plurality of elements is exposed to a surface treatment fluid to create surfaces on the elements having a selected one of a hydrophilic or a hydrophobic nature. A slurry is dispensed over a substrate, wherein the slurry contains a fluid and the plurality of elements which are designed to be received by a plurality of receptor regions. The fluid is the selected one of a hydrophilic or hydrophobic nature. In another example of an aspect of the invention, a surfactant is used with a slurry having elements which are deposited onto receptor regions in a fluidic self assembly process. Other examples of methods are also described.
摘要:
A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. The RFID tag comprises a flexible substrate and an integrated circuit embedded within the flexible substrate. The top surface of the integrated circuit is coplanar with the flexible substrate. At least one conductive element is formed on the flexible substrate. The conductive element is electrically connected to the integrated circuit. The conductive element serves as an antenna for the RFID tag.
