Flex-to-rigid (F2R) platform enables the integration of highly miniaturized electronics functionalities in unusual form factors. It consists of two parts. The rigid part, where the wafer level manufacturing technology uses conventional micro fabrication prceses, and the flexible part where the flex interconnect integration on wafer level enables simplified assemby flow by minimizing assembly methods and steps between functional parts. This platform can be used for the fabrication of minimally in
