Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first conductive stretchable interconnect having a first portion electrically coupled to a second portion via a first bypass portion, the first bypass portion having a curved shape, the first conductive stretchable interconnect being positioned in a first layer of the apparatus; a second conductive stretchable interconnect having a first portion electrically coupled to a second portion via a second bypass portion, the second bypass portion, having a curved shape substantially the same as the curved shape of the first bypass portion, the second conductive stretchable interconnect being positioned in a second layer of the apparatus that is spaced from the first layer of the apparatus such that the first and second stretchable interconnects overlap at an intersection region of the apparatus; and an intersection structure having a top layer, a middle layer, and a bottom layer, the first conductive stretchable interconnect being positioned between the top and middle layers and the second conductive stretchable interconnect being positioned between the middle and bottom layers, such that the intersection structure encompasses at least a portion of the first and second bypass portions, the intersection structure being configured to redistribute a mechanical strain on the first bypass portion and the second bypass portion away from the intersection region of the apparatus.
