Abstract
An integrated-circuit device includes a rigid substrate island having a main substrate surface with a circuit region circuit elements and at least one fold structure. The fold structure is attached to the substrate island and is unfoldable from a relaxed, folded state to a strained unfolded state. The fold structure contains at least one passive electrical component. The fold structure further has in its folded state at least one surface with an area vector that includes a non-vanishing area-vector component in a direction parallel to the main substrate surface, which area-vector component is diminished or vanishes when deforming the fold structure from the folded into the unfolded state.
