NOVEL CONDUCTOR GEOMETRY FOR ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS FABRICATED ON FLEXIBLE SUBSTRATES

摘要

A flexible conductor formed on a flexible substrate (21). In one embodiment, a semiconductor substrate. The device comprises a periodic structure of islands (14) and at least one conductor (10) comprising a series of repeating geometric features (18) affixed to the periodic structure of islands. The geometric features of the conductor are adapted to stretch the conductor rather than break the conductor when the substrate is bent.
