Abstract
A first flexible electronic circuit includes a non-conductive substrate and a conductive trace layer, including a bonding pad, on a surface of the non-conductive substrate. A second flexible electronic circuit likewise includes a substrate and a conductive trace layer, including a bonding pad, on a surface of the non-conductive substrate. The second flexible electronic circuit also includes a conductive interface layer on an opposite surface of the non-conductive substrate to the bonding pad. A plurality of vias, filled with conductive material, extend through the substrate of the second flexible electronic circuit and couple the conductive interface layer to the bonding pad. The bonding pads are brought in contact with each other, and energy (e.g., ultrasonic energy or thermal energy) is applied to the conductive interface layer until the bonding pads are bonded (e.g., ultrasonically welded or soldered) to each other.
