Fabric based article having strands with embedded parts

摘要

The fabric based article may include fabric formed from a braided strand of material having an embedded circuit mechanism.The strand of material may be formed from a dielectric material, such as polymer.The strand of material may be formed from a bonded segment of a polymeric strand material or other material.Each coupled segment may include potentially separate circuitry.Some coupled segments may include one or more conductive lines.The conductive lines extend parallel to each other along the length of the coupled segments to form the interconnects of the circuits.The conductive lines may be coupled to the contact pads on the integrated circuit and on other embedded components formed from the semiconductor die.The control circuitry formed from an integrated circuit embedded in the strand of material in the fabric and other control circuitry can be used to control the circuit mechanism embedded in the fabric.
