Continuous interconnects between heterogeneous materials

Abstract

A structure may include a first material, a second material joined to the first material at a junction between the first and second materials, and one or more media extending across the junction to form a continuous interconnect between the first and second materials, wherein the first and second materials are heterogeneous. The structure may further include a transition at the junction between the first and second materials. The one or more media may include a functional material which may be electrically conductive. The structure may further include a third material joined to the second material at a second junction between the second and third materials, the media may extend across the second junction to form a continuous interconnect between the first, second, and third materials, and the second and third materials may be heterogeneous.
