Abstract: One method of making an electronic assembly includes mounting one electrical substrate on another electrical substrate with a face surface on the one substrate oriented transversely of a face surface of the other substrate. The method also includes inkjet printing on the face surfaces a conductive trace that connects an electrical contact on the one substrate with an electrical connector on the other substrate. An electronic assembly may include a first substrate having a generally flat surface with a first plurality of electrical contacts thereon; a second substrate having a generally flat surface with a second plurality of electrical contacts thereon, the surface of the second substrate extending transversely of the surface of said first substrate; and at least one continuous conductive ink trace electrically connecting at least one of the first plurality of electrical contacts with at least one of the second plurality of electrical contacts.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) package including an IC die and a conductive ink printed circuit layer electrically connected to the IC die.

Abstract: A method of making an electronic device having a discrete device mounted on a surface of an electronic die with both the discrete device and the die connected by heat cured conductive ink and covered with cured encapsulant including placing the discrete device on the die; and keeping the temperature of each of the discrete device and the die below about 200° C. Also disclosed is a method of electrically attaching a discrete device to a substrate that includes placing the device on the substrate, applying conductive ink that connects at least one terminal on the device to at least one contact on the substrate and curing the conductive ink. Also disclosed is an IC package with a discrete electrical device having electrical terminals; an electrical substrate having contact pads on a surface thereof; and cured conductive ink connecting at least one of the electrical terminals with at least one of the contact pads.
