Systems and methods for integrating radio-frequency identification (RFID) circuitry into flexible circuits are provided. An RFID integrated circuit can be embedded within a dielectric layer of a flexible circuit or between a dielectric layer and a conductive layer of the flexible circuit. Additionally or alternatively, an RFID antenna may be integrated into a conductive layer of the flexible circuit. Alternatively, both the integrated circuit and antenna of RFID circuitry may be provided off of the flexible circuit but an RFID connector coupling the integrated circuit and antenna may be integrated into the flexible circuit.
Abstract:
A signal processing module (100) can be manufactured from a plurality of composite substrate layers (104-106), each substrate layer includes elements of multiple individual processing modules. Surfaces of the layers are selectively metalicized to form signal processing elements when the substrate layers (104-406) are fusion bonded in a stacked arrangement. Prior to bonding, the substrate layers are milled to form gaps located at regions between the processing modules. Prior to bonding, the leads (110) are positioned such that they extend from signal coupling points on said metalicized surfaces into the gap regions. The substrate layers (104-106) are then fusion bonded to each other such that the plurality of substrate layers (104-106) form signal processing modules (100) with leads (110) that extend from an interior of the modules into the gap areas. The individual modules (100) may then be separated by milling the substrate layers to de-panel the modules.
Abstract:
An electrically connectable module is manufactured from a substrate (s) of an electrically insulating polymer matrix doped with an electrically insulating fibrous filler capable of heat conversion to an electrically conductive fibrous filler to form a fibre-doped substrate (s). One end (12) of an electrical connector (10) is embedded in the fibre-doped substrate (s) to locate the one end (12) adjacent the surface (14) of the substrate (s) while exposing an opposite end (16) of the electrical connector (10). The surface (14) of the fibre-doped substrate (s) is locally heated preferably with a laser to form a conductive trace (20) by the in-situ heat conversion of the electrically insulating fibrous filler, the localised heating including the one end (12) of the electrical connector (10) to electrically connect the electrical connector (10) to the conductive trace. In another embodiment, a conductive material is electrodeposited on the conductive trace (20) by applying a voltage to the opposite end (16) of the electrical connector (10). The substrate (s) is moulded into a desired shape to form the module, and a plurality of electrical connectors (10) can be embedded into the substrate (s) in any one of several different standardised arrangements.
