Strap assembly comprising functional block deposited therein and method of making same

Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for an electronic assembly. The method comprises depositing a functional block into a recessed region, forming dielectric layer selectively over at least one of a selected portion of the functional block and a selected portion of the first substrate; and forming one or more electrical interconnections to the functional block. The recessed region is formed on a first substrate. The depositing of the functional block occurs on a continuous web line and using a Fluidic Self Assembly process. The functional block has a width-depth aspect ratio that substantially matches a width-depth aspect ratio of said recessed region which is one of equal to or less than 10.5:1, and equal to or less than 7.5:1.

1 .- 35 . (canceled) 
     
     
         36 . A processing system to assemble functional blocks into a strap substrate comprising:
 a web-processing line configured to move a roll of substrate material across one or more processing stations;   a Fluidic Self-Assembly (FSA) device configured to deposit a functional into a recessed region formed in said substrate material;   a first direct write device configured to selectively form a dielectric layer over said functional block and said substrate material; and   a second direct write device configured to form interconnection features to and from said functional block.   
     
     
         37 . The processing system of  claim 36  further comprising:
 a vibration device positioned to exert a vibrational force on one or both of said substrate material and a slurry that is dispensed via said FSA device to dispense said functional block onto said substrate material, said vibration device facilitates deposition of said functional block.   
     
     
         38 . The processing system of  claim 36  further comprising:
 a computer system set up to control said web-processing line, said FSA device, said first direct writing device, and said second direct writing device.   
     
     
         39 . The processing system of  claim 36  further comprising:
 an embossing device configured to create said recessed region into said substrate material.   
     
     
         40 . The processing system of  claim 39  further comprising:
 a computer system set up to control said web-processing line, said FSA device, said first direct writing device, said second direct writing device, and said embossing device.
