Abstract
An electroplating method for enhancing the performance of rolled-up passive components comprises providing an array of rolled-up passive components on a substrate, where each rolled-up passive component comprises a multilayer strip in a rolled configuration including multiple turns spaced apart by gaps. The multilayer strip comprises a conductive pattern layer on a strain-relieved layer, and a core of each rolled-up passive component is defined by a first of the multiple turns. A layer comprising a functional material is electroplated onto the conductive pattern layer of each rolled-up passive component, thereby at least partly filling the gaps and/or the core with the functional material.
