  • Patent number: 8516683
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for an electronic assembly. The electronic assembly has a first object created and separated from a host substrate. The first object has a first electrical circuitry therein. A carrier substrate is coupled to the first object wherein the first object is being recessed below a surface of the carrier substrate. The carrier substrate further includes a first carrier connection pad and a second carrier connection pad that interconnect with the first object using metal connectors. A receiving substrate, which is substantially planar, including a second electrical circuitry, a first receiving connection pad, and a second receiving connection pad that interconnect with the second electrical circuitry using the metal connectors. The carrier substrate is coupled to the receiving substrate using the connection pads mentioned.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7260882
    Abstract: Methods for making electronic devices with small functional elements supported on a carrier are presented. One method of making an electronic assembly is by first providing the following: a web of flexible material having a plurality of recesses, where each of the recesses containing an RFID chip, a flexible substrate having antennas, straps from the web by a web process, where each of the straps includes at least one RFID chip and a portion of the flexible material. The electronic assembly is formed by attaching the straps to the antennas so that each of the straps is coupled to one of the antennas and the density of the RFID chips on the web is higher than a density of the antennas on the flexible substrate. Other methods of making electronic devices with small functional elements supported on a carrier are disclosed.
