Abstract
In one embodiment, an electronic device comprises a substrate, a plurality of circuit traces on a substrate, wherein at least a subset of the plurality of circuit traces comprise at least one tab trace. A plurality of the tab traces are excised from the substrate, and at least one electronic component is positioned proximate at least one tab trace on the substrate. The electrical component comprises at least one electrical contact on an upper surface of the component. The tab trace is lifted and inverted to establish an electrical connection between an electrically conductive portion of the tab trace and an electrical contact on an upper surface of the at least one electronic component.
