EUTECTIC COPPER – AN INNOVATIVE METHOD FOR PRINTING ELECTRONICS

SKU0024
DESCRIPTION

Innovative approach to electronics manufacturing, addressing key challenges in photolithography and sputtering. This method leverages eco-friendly deep eutectic solvents and laser technology, ensuring a unique and cost-effective process. A simplified three-step procedure is used to reduce production costs, speed up manufacturing, and require only one setup for all stages. The methodology of the technology is as follows: the metallic or dielectric substrate is pre-treated with a laser. Then, a deep eutectic solvent is applied to it. In areas where tracks and metal are required on the holes, the substrate is treated with laser radiation. After that, the solvent residues are removed with warm water, leaving a metallic contour on the substrate. This technology has already been perfected for applying copper tracks to dielectric substrates and for metallizing holes in them.
