Strap assembly comprising functional block deposited therein and method of making same

A method comprising:

• depositing a functional block into a recessed region, said recessed region formed on a first substrate, said depositing occurs on a continuous web line and using a Fluidic Self Assembly process, said functional block has a width-depth aspect ratio that substantially matches a width-depth aspect ratio of said recessed region which is one of equal to or less than 10.5:1, and equal to or less than 7.5:1:
• forming dielectric layer selectively over at least one of a selected portion of said functional block and a selected portion of said first substrate;
• forming one or more electrical interconnections to said block;
• and
• coupling said functional block to an antenna formed on a second substrate and
• coupling said electrical interconnections to said antenna.

A method comprising:

• depositing a functional block onto a web substrate configured to receive said functional block;
• using direct writing to form a dielectric layer over a selected area of at least one of said functional block or said web substrate;
• forming one or more interconnects to said functional block;
• and
• coupling said functional block to an antenna formed on a second substrate and coupling said electrical interconnections to said antenna.

A method comprising:

• depositing a functional block onto a web substrate configured to receive said functional block;
• using direct writing to form a dielectric layer over a selected area of at least one of said functional block or said web substrate;
• forming one or more interconnects to said functional block;
• forming a lead conductor that connects to a contact pad provided on the functional block using a direct write technique;
• forming a pad conductor that connects to said lead conductor;
• and
• coupling said pad conductor to a conductor pattern formed on a second substrate.
