1. A method of forming an RFID tag comprising:
depositing an integrated circuit within a receptor in a flexible web substrate using Fluidic Self Assembly;
forming at least one conductive trace on the flexible web substrate to simultaneously form an electrical connection to the integrated circuit and form an antenna element, wherein a portion of the flexible web substrate has a length which is at least ten times a width of the integrated circuit after the portion, including the integrated circuit and the at least one conductive trace, is singulated from the flexible web substrate.
