Abstract: Microelectronic systems encapsulated in a stretchable/flexible material, which is skin/bio-compatible and able to withstand environmental conditions. In one embodiment of the present description, the microelectronic system includes a microelectronic device that is substantially encapsulated in a non-permeable encapsulant, such as, butyl rubbers, ethylene propylene rubbers, fluoropolymer elastomers, or combinations thereof. In another embodiment, the microelectronic system includes a microelectronic device that is substantially encapsulated in a permeable encapsulant, such as polydimethylsiloxane, wherein a non-permeable encapsulant substantially encapsulates the permeable encapsulant.

Abstract: Electronic assemblies and methods for their manufacture are described, including those related to the formation of an assembly including a carrier and a resin coated copper layer positioned on the carrier. The resin coated copper layer includes a first layer comprising a resin and a second layer comprising copper, with the first layer bonded to the second layer. The first layer of the resin coated copper is positioned between the carrier and the second layer of the resin coated copper. An opening is formed in the second layer of the resin coated copper. A die is positioned in the opening. A plurality of dielectric layers and metal pathways are positioned on the second layer and on the die. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
