Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A flexible and stretchable integrated electronic device includes a substrate having a stiffness gradient, wherein a rigid electronic device is embedded within the substrate. The stiffness gradient within the substrate prevents delamination at the interface between the substrate and the embedded device. The stiffness gradient is accomplished by providing at least two distinct zones in the substrate with uniform stiffness, with each zone decreasing in stiffness as in a distance from the embedded device increases, or the gradient is accomplished by having a zone with a varying stiffness.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An integrated electronic device comprising: a substrate consisting of a polymer base and a curing agent, wherein the substrate has a first section and a second section, a rigid electronic device is embedded in the substrate, wherein the first section of the substrate is adjacent to the rigid electronic device and has a uniform stiffness and a higher concentration of curing agent than the second section, wherein the second section of the substrate is peripheral to the first section and has a stiffness gradient with a maximum stiffness at an interface with the first section, wherein an average of the Young's modulus of the second section is less than the Young's modulus of the first section, and wherein the stiffness gradient of the second section is continuous. 2. The integrated electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the polymer base comprises an elastic polymer selected from the group consisting of polydimethylsiloxane, two-part silicone elastomer, room-temperature-vulcanizing silicone rubber, tin-catalyzed silicone, and platinum-catalyzed silicone. 3. The integrated electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising: a passive electronic device embedded in the substrate and connected to the rigid electronic device. 4. The integrated electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the passive electronic device is at least one selected from the group consisting of an antenna, a coil, a wire, and a sensor.
