Stretchable electronics and method for manufacturing the same

Stretchable electronics comprising:

• a substrate;
• a plurality of electronic elements disposed to be spaced apart from each other on the substrate;
• an insulator disposed on the substrate to connect two adjacent electronic elements of the plurality of electronic elements to each other;
• and
• a metal wire configured to cover side surfaces and a top surface of the insulator,
• wherein the insulator comprises at least one bent part in a plan view,
• the metal wire electrically connects the two adjacent electronic elements of the plurality of electronic elements to each other and extends along a direction in which the insulator extends, and
• the insulator comprises a trench formed in an upper portion of the insulator,
• wherein the trench extends in the direction in which the insulator extends,
• wherein an inside of the trench is filled with a conductive pattern, and
• the metal wire on the top surface of the insulator covers the top surface of the insulator and a top surface of the conductive pattern.

A method for manufacturing stretchable electronics, the method comprising:

• providing an insulator on a top surface of a carrier substrate;
• patterning the insulator so that the insulator is bent in a plan view;
• depositing a metal wire on top and side surfaces of the insulator to form a wire structure;
• embedding the wire structure in an insulating layer;
• and
• separating the wire structure from the carrier substrate after embedding the wire structure in the insulating layer.
