Abstract
A method for manufacturing a stretchable electronic device is disclosed. In one aspect, the device comprises at least one electrically conductive channel connecting at least two components of the device. The method comprises forming the channel by laser-cutting a flexible substrate into a predetermined geometric shape.
Claims22
A method of manufacturing a stretchable electronic device comprising at least one electrically conductive channel connecting at least two electrical components, the channel having a predetermined geometric shape by which the channel is stretchable, the method comprising:
- providing a flexible substrate comprising an insulating material and at least one layer of electrically conductive material on or embedded in the insulating material;
- and
- cutting a predetermined geometric shape from the flexible substrate with laser, wherein the laser cutting cuts through the insulating material and the at least one layer of electrically conductive material together, thereby creating at least one stretchable conductive channel.
