Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include a method for manufacturing sensors and circuit structures. The method can include providing a substrate including a layer of polymer capable of producing graphite in response to the application of energy, a first electrode adjacent to a first via location on the layer of polymer, and an insulating layer over at least a portion of the first electrode and the layer of polymer at the first via location; and applying sufficient energy to the layer of polymer at the first via location through the insulating layer to ablate the insulating layer and to form a first via as mass of graphite that extends into electrical contact with the first electrode and is surrounded by the insulating layer in a plane of the insulating layer.
