Abstract:
A structure, comprising:an electrically conducting pattern on at least one of two substrates to be combined with the other of the two substrates via a seal, said electrically conducting pattern comprising an array of electrically conducting lines alternating with open spaces, said conducting lines being opaque to optical radiation, each of said conducting lines being open in a specified region and reconnected by a separate deposit overlapping both ends of said electrically conducting lines, said deposit comprising optically transparent or partially transparent electrically conducting material that restores electrical continuity of said conducting lines and such that said conducting pattern in a region of the seal for attaching the two substrates is at least partially transmissive to radiation required for curing said seal under said pattern to affix said two substrates, wherein said array of electrically conducting lines includes metal lines leading from a transistor to a peripheral region of one of said substrates at which said seal is applied, and wherein said electrically conducting lines are reconnected by said deposit in a fan-out region.
