Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a tag for reflecting electromagnetic energy for the purpose of indicating the presence of said tag, said tag comprising a substrate having a surface, said method comprising: a. applying a first patterned adhesive on said surface of said substrate; b. applying a first electrically conductive foil to said first patterned adhesive to adhere said first electrically conductive foil thereto; c. removing a portion of said first electrically conductive foil not adhered to said first patterned adhesive to form a first electrically conductive trace secured to said surface of said substrate by said first patterned adhesive; d. applying a second adhesive layer on a portion of a surface area of said tag, said surface area comprising said surface and said first electrically conductive trace; e. after applying said second adhesive layer on said portion of said surface area of said tag, applying a preformed second electrically conductive trace to said applied second patterned adhesive to adhere said second electrically conductive trace to said surface area; and f. electrically coupling portions of said first and second electrically conductive traces to each other to form a tag circuit.
