Abstract: An integrated system for textile hybrid electronics via laser hybrid manufacturing includes surface mounted devices (SMDs), laser-induced flexible sensors, a textile substrate, conductive textile traces and physiological electrodes, and vertical interconnect accesses (VIAs). By leveraging a material modification capability of a laser, patterned sensors can be prepared directly on the textile substrate. A precision cutting capability of a laser is utilized to create patterned flexible electrodes and interconnect wires. Furthermore, highly stable VIAs are formed by infiltrating the fabric's intrinsic structure with conductive composites. By integrating the aforementioned preparation techniques, a double-layer fabric circuit board can be realized on various daily-use and specialized textiles. Subsequently, the SMDs are soldered onto the board to form an integrated system for textile hybrid electronics.
