Abstract: A stretchable electronic device is disclosed. In one aspect, the device has a stretchable interconnection electrically connecting two electronic components. The stretchable interconnection includes an electrically conductive channel having a predetermined first geometry by which the channel is stretchable up to a given elastic limit and a first flexible supporting layer provided for supporting the electrically conductive channel and having a predetermined second geometry by which the first supporting layer is stretchable. The predetermined second geometry has a predetermined deviation from the predetermined first geometry chosen for restricting stretchability of the electrically conductive channel below its elastic limit.
