Claims11
An apparatus with a web of circuitry, comprising:
- a first plurality of circuit elements extending in a first direction;
- and
- a second plurality of circuit elements extending in a second direction, the second direction being non-parallel to the first direction,
- wherein the second plurality of circuit elements are interlaced with the first plurality of circuit elements,
- wherein a plurality of intersections between the first and second plurality of circuit elements form an active region, each intersection of the plurality of intersections exhibiting circuit device characteristics, the active region operating as an electrical or optical device, and
- wherein at least one circuit element of one or both of the first and second plurality of circuit elements is a transmission line.
