Deformable Inductors

Abstract

A circuit assembly may include a first layer arranged as a substrate, a second layer having a spiral pattern attached to the substrate, wherein the spiral pattern contains a deformable conductor. A circuit assembly may include a first portion of a deformable inductor fabricated on a first layer of the circuit assembly; and a second portion of the deformable inductor fabricated on a second layer of the circuit assembly and electrically connected to the first portion of the deformable inductor. A method may include sensing an interaction with a deformable inductor, wherein the deformable inductor may include an inductive pattern of deformable conductor, and a deformable substrate arranged to support the inductive pattern of deformable conductor. An article of manufacture may include an inductive pattern of deformable conductor, and a deformable substrate arranged to support the inductive pattern of deformable conductor.
