Conductive Patterns on Flexible Substrates
Roll-to-Roll (R2R) processing delivers cost-effective manufacturing for displays, touch screens, flexible electronics, EMF shielding, etc. Compare:
Conventional photoresist lithography typically requires numerous steps:
- Spin-coating
- Soft bake
- Hard bake
- Mask exposure
- Wetdevelopment
- Rinse
- Dry
- Photoresist stripping
- Rinse
- Dry
MicroContinuum's R2R process requires fewer steps:
- Mask forming
- Processing
- Mask removal
…for more cost-effective processing
Roll-to-Roll (R2R) processing can provide cost-effective manufacturing solutions for flexible electronics and flat panel displays:
Micro- and nano-sized wire patterns can be formed from metals and transparent conductive oxides on flexible substrates using MicroContinuum's roll-to-roll patterning technology
Compatible with a range of materials — some examples:
A honeycomb of conductive lines ("wires" that are 20 µm wide) made of ITO (indium tin oxide, a transparent conductor) on polyester substrate
Same honeycomb as above, but with titanium metal lines (dark area at left is contact "bus")
Thin Film Transistor (TFT) elements made with a magnetic metal alloy on an ultra-thin Kapton film:
