Forming Electrical Networks in Three Dimensions by Self-Assembly

David H. Gracias, Joe Tien, Tricia L. Breen, Carey Hsu, George M. Whitesides*

Self-assembly of millimeter-scale polyhedra, with surfaces patterned with solder dots, wires, and light-emitting diodes, generated electrically functional, three-dimensional networks. The patterns of dots and wires controlled the structure of the networks formed; both parallel and serial connections were generated.
