   Abstract:
  Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE) is increasingly impacting almost every market segment of electronic applications. Printing of functional inks on mechanically flexible substrates such as plastic, paper and textile, using conventional printing techniques and attaching traditional SMT components provides novel applications for wearable and stretchable electronics. Government sponsored consortiums, leading universities, startups, and global contract printers & manufacturers are developing processes to deploy the technology to market faster, more cost-effective and at scale while following industrialization best practices. Some of the challenges in circuit design and fabrication process will be presented.
