Abstract:
1. A method of forming at least one thin film device (TFD) with stranded conductor, comprising: providing a substrate; providing a plurality of parallel spaced electrically conductive strips upon the substrate; depositing functional material upon the conductive strips; providing a 3D structure that defines the at least one TFD upon the functional material, the 3D structure having a plurality of different heights, at least one height defining a first portion of the conductive strips provided on the substrate to be bundled; etching the 3D structure and functional material to define an aperture in the 3D structure and the functional material, wherein the aperture exposes the first portion of the conductive strips; and bundling the first portion of the conductive strips exposed in the aperture, wherein the bundling interconnects a first layer of the TFD with a second layer of the TFD.
