Abstract:
One variation of a method for fabricating a garment includes: applying a first mask to a first side of a fabric substrate coated with a conductive material; applying a second mask—mirrored image of the first mask—to a second side of the fabric substrate opposite the first side; applying an etchant to the fabric substrate to remove conductive material outside of the first mask; arranging a conductive interface pad of a component carrier over an electrode defined by remaining conductive material on the fabric substrate, the component carrier including a flexible substrate and a rigid electrical component mounted to the flexible substrate, the conductive interface pad extending from a terminal of the rigid electrical component across a region of the flexible substrate; mechanically fastening the component carrier to the fabric substrate to form a garment insert including an electrical circuit; and incorporating the garment insert into the garment.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for fabricating a component of a flexible circuitry layer, comprising:\n applying a first mask to a first side of a textile, wherein the textile includes a layer of metallized material thereon, and wherein the applied first mask does not cover at least a first portion of the first side; applying a second mask to a second side of the textile, wherein the applied second mask does not cover at least a first portion of the second side, wherein the first portion of the second side is opposite the first portion of the first side; and applying a chemical to remove at least a portion of the layer of metallized material in the first portion of the first side.
