  • Patent number: 8536613
    Abstract: A heterostructure contains an IC and an LED. An IC and an LED are initially provided. The IC has at least one first electric-conduction block and at least one first connection block. The IC electrically connects with the first electric-conduction block. The first face of the LED has at least one second electric-conduction block and at least one second connection block. The LED electrically connects to the second electric-conduction block. Subsequently, the first electric-conduction block and the first connection block are respectively joined to the second electric-conduction block and the second connection block. The first electric-conduction block is electrically connected with the second electric-conduction block and forms a heterostructure. The system simultaneously provides functions of heat radiation and electric communication for the IC and LED resulting in a high-density, multifunctional heterostructure.

  • Patent number: 8269112
    Abstract: A circuit structure and a fabrication method thereof manly use a plurality of wires to connect in series a plurality of pads to form a stretchable circuit. Each of the wires has a first end, a second end and an intermediate segment located between the first end and the second end, wherein the first end and the second end are respectively connected to different pads, and the position of the intermediate segment is higher than the positions of the first end and the second end. Since the connection manner of the wires and the pads has 3-D freedoms, the circuit structure can withstand both horizontal and vertical deformations and has an outstanding reliability.
