A method for manufacturing a flexible circuit board is provided. The method for manufacturing a flexible circuit board includes the following steps: providing a carrier substrate, forming a flexible substrate on the carrier substrate, and forming a plurality of circuit strings on the flexible substrate. A flexible circuit board manufactured by the above method is also provided.

A chip part includes a substrate, a first electrode and a second electrode which are formed apart from each other on the substrate and a circuit network which is formed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The circuit network includes a first passive element including a first conductive member embedded in a first trench formed in the substrate and a second passive element including a second conductive member formed on the substrate outside the first trench.

Multilayer articles that include electrical circuits are prepared by the adhesive transfer of electrical circuit elements to the surface of an adhesive. A number of different methodologies are used, with all of the methodologies including the use of simple layers of circuit-forming material on a releasing substrate and structuring to generate circuit elements which can be transferred to an adhesive surface. In some methodologies, a structured releasing substrate is used to selectively transfer circuit-forming material, either from protrusions on the releasing substrate or from depressions on the releasing substrate. In other methodologies, an unstructured releasing substrate is used and either embossed to form a structured releasing substrate or contacted with a structured adhesive layer to selectively transfer circuit-forming material.

A system and method (referred to as a method) to fabricate sensors and electronic circuits. The method prints a first thin-film having an electronic conductivity of about less than a millionth of a Siemens per meter and a permalloy directly onto the first thin-film. The permalloy has a magnetic permeability greater than a predetermined level and has a thickness within a range of about 1 to 20 microns. The system prints a second thin-film directly onto the permalloy to encapsulate the permalloy onto the first thin-film and prints conductive traces directly onto the surfaces of the first-thin-film, the permalloy, and the second thin-film. In some applications, a sensor is packaged in an additively manufactured three-dimensional cylindrical shape that can be mounted on or is a unitary part of a current carrying conductor without incising, sharing, or severing (e.g., cutting) the current carrying conductor or its insulation.

Disclosed is a method of forming wiring of a substrate includes masking a substrate side portion, on which the wiring will be formed, by attaching a deposition mask to the substrate; and forming the wiring on the substrate side portion based on sputtering after introducing the masked substrate into a chamber.

A method of improving the adhesion of a metal-organic interface in an electronic device includes providing a substrate with a metal structure, treating a surface of the metal structure to form a monolayer coating of a selected chemical composition on the surface, and coating the treated surface with an organic material.

A substrate for pattern formation, the substrate including at least a base material and a perfluoro(poly)ether group-containing silane compound-derived portion, wherein the base material includes at least one main face having a first region and a second region which is a region for pattern formation, adjacent to the first region, and the perfluoro(poly)ether group-containing silane compound-derived portion is disposed in the first region.

A method, system, apparatus, and/or device with a miniaturized impedance sensor. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a substrate with locally non-flexible regions interconnected by a flexible material and a miniaturized impedance sensor disposed on the substrate.
