Patent ID: 8481364

Claim:
A method for fabricating a flexible micro-system, comprising the steps of: providing a handle substrate; forming a sacrificial layer on the handle substrate; forming a flexible substrate on the sacrificial layer, the flexible substrate having a glass transition temperature value; forming a first conductive structure on the flexible substrate; providing at least one electronic component having a second conductive structure opposing the first conductive structure; pressing together substantially planar outer surfaces of the first conductive structure and the second conductive structure at a predetermined pressure and temperature for a predetermined time duration to form a direct substantially planar bond therebetween, the electronic component being thereby fixed in an electrically conductive manner to the flexible substrate, wherein the predetermined temperature remains lower than the glass transition temperature value of the flexible substrate; and chemically removing the sacrificial layer to release the flexible substrate from the handle substrate, whereby the electronic component is bonded to the flexible substrate in forming a flexible micro-system.
