Ultra-Flat "Mounted" Electronics

The paper proposes a method to place encapsulated devices with a size of typically 100 mum micro capsules of this size can be fabricated in batch processes, and they can be dispensed or printed by coarse screen printing techniques. The electric properties of a desired element are roughly defined by the printing pattern, not by the single micro capsule. This means a lot of capsules form a single device. In order to provide an oriented deposition, as necessary in case of polarization dependent deposition, a magnetic alignment is proposed
