- the etching may remove some of the material of the antenna or other conductive pattern 16.
- the duration of the etching and/or concentration of the etchant may be controlled, so as to limit the amount of material removed from the antenna or other conductive pattern 16, while desirably removing the portions of the conductive deposited layer 64 that are not covered by the antenna or other conductive pattern 16.
- the resulting structure of the RFID device following the etching in step 88, may be substantially similar to that of the RFID device 10 shown in Figs. 1-3 and discussed above. It will be appreciated that, although the antenna or other patterned conductive layer 16 is shown in Figs. 1-3 as being separate from the underlying seed layer 36, in fact the electroplated material of the antenna or other conductive pattern 16 may form a unitary conductive pattern with the underlying portions of the deposited conductive layer 64.
- a suitable wash may be utilized to remove traces of the wet etchant material employed.
- FIG. 16 shows a system 100 for performing the method 50a in a roll-to-roll process.
- substrate material 101 starts at a supply roll 102.
- the conductive layer 64 is then deposited at a deposition station 104, with the mask 70 printed at a printer 106.
- the strap 20 may then be crimped onto a back surface of the substrate material 101 using a crimper 110.
- individual of the straps 20 may be brought to the substrate material 101 through any of a variety of suitable methods. For example, a pick-and-place operation may be used to place the strap 20 in a desired position on the substrate 12. Reference marks may be utilized to aid in proper alignment of the strap 20 relative to the exposed portions of the conductive deposited layer 64.
- the strap 20 may be temporarily separated on a separate web of material that is brought into contact with the web of substrate material 101 at the desired location.
- the antenna or other conductive pattern 16 is formed in a plating process, for example, by passing the substrate material 101 through a plating bath 114.
- the mask may then be removed in a solvent washing application process shown at reference number 118.
- a wet etching may be performed by DOCKET NO. AVERP3408WO
- the substrate material 101 may be gathered in a take-up roll 122.
- Fig. 17 shows a method 50b for forming the RFID device 10.
- Figs. 18-21 illustrate various processes of the method 50b.
- a patterned seed layer 136 is printed or otherwise formed on the front surface.14 of the substrate 12, as illustrated in Figs. 18 and 19.
- the seed layer 136 may be printed by any of a variety of suitable printing methods, including screen printing, inkjet printing, or gravure printing.
- the ink may be any of a variety of suitable conductive inks, for example, an ink containing copper and/or silver particles.
- Other suitable inks may include inks containing other types of conductive metal particles, or inks containing other conductive materials, such as graphite or suitable conductive polymer materials.
- patterned seed layer includes patterned vapor deposition of a suitable metal, such as copper. Further details on such a process may be found in U.S. Published Application No. 2002/0018880, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- the seed layer 136 corresponds to the desired configuration of the antenna or other conductive pattern 16.
- the seed layer 136 may have additional elements to provide electrical connection between various parts of the seed layer 136, so as to allow a more uniform electroplating process in a subsequent step.
- the antenna 16 is an antenna for a 13.56 MHz RFID device
- the antenna may have a length large enough such that electrical connection between elements of the antenna 16 is desirable.
- One method of making such a temporary electrical connection is described in U.S. Patent No. 6,476,775, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- the antenna 16 is a dipole antenna, such as the type used for UHF or microwave RFID devices, operating for example at DOCKET NO. AVERP3408WO
- step 140 illustrated in Figs. 20 and 21 , the strap 20 is crimped onto the front surface 14 or the back surface 22 of the substrate 12.
- the crimping forms crimped connections 32 and 34 between conductive leads 28 and 30 of the strap 20, and elements of the conductive ink seed layer 136.
- the crimping may be performed in a similar manner to that as described above with regard to the crimping operation in the method 50a.
- step 150 electroplating is performed to produce the antenna or other conductive pattern 16.
- material may be plated upon the seed layer 136, forming the antenna 16 of a suitable thickness.
- suitable steps may be taken to remove undesired plated areas.
- acid may be used to remove additional material between desired elements of the antenna 16. It will be appreciated that no such removal is necessary when there is no additional conductive material between desired elements of the antenna 16.
- steps of the method 50b may also be performed in one or more roll-to-roll operations.
- a system may be used to perform the roll-to-roll operations, with suitable printers, crimpers, and electroplating baths, which may be analogous to those described above with regard to the system 100 (Fig. 16).
- the method 50 in its various embodiments, allows for inexpensive production of the RFID device 10, with its antenna 16 and strap 20 on opposite faces of the substrate 12.
- the electrical connection between the strap 20 and the antenna 16 may be a crimped connection through the substrate 12.
- Such a connection provides good mechanical strength, as well as being an efficient way to form a connection.
- the plating operation that occurs subsequent to the crimping may provide plated conductive material at connection points between the crimped connection and the parts of the antenna 16 and the strap 20 to be coupled together.
