Patent ID: 8610290

Claim:
A substrate comprising: a first electrically conductive component formed on the substrate and a first plurality of electrically conductive nano-fibers electrically connected to the first electrically conductive component; a second electrically conductive component formed on the substrate and a second plurality of electrically conductive nano-fibers electrically connected to the second electrically conductive component, wherein the electrically conductive nano-fibers of the first and second pluralities of electrically conductive nano-fibers have first ends and opposite second ends, wherein the electrically conductive nano-fibers of the first plurality of electrically conductive nano-fibers are formed with their first ends affixed to the first electrically conductive component, and their second ends are configured to adhere to a first electrically conductive component formed on an additional substrate, to provide an adhesive force by intermolecular forces between the second ends and the first electrically conductive component, and to establish an electrical connection with the first electrically conductive component, wherein the electrically conductive nano-fibers of the second plurality of electrically conductive nano-fibers are formed with their first ends affixed to the second electrically conductive component, and their second ends are configured to adhere to a second electrically conductive component formed on the additional substrate, to provide an adhesive force by intermolecular forces between the second ends and the second electrically conductive component, and to establish an electrical connection with the second electrically conductive component; and a plurality of electrically insulating nano-fibers connected to the substrate, wherein the electrically insulating nano-fibers; are deposited in between the first and the second electrically conductive components formed on the substrate, and are configured to adhere to the additional substrate to provide an adhesive force by intermolecular forces between the electrically insulting nano-fibers and the additional substrate.
