US Patent:

20090181184, Jul 16, 2009

Filed:

Mar 25, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/411221

Inventors:

Dave S. Pope - Andover MA, US
Kurt A. Schroder - Coupland TX, US
Ian M. Rawson - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

B05D 3/06

US Classification:

427554, 427532, 427553

Abstract:

A method for producing an electrically conductive thin film on a substrate is disclosed. Initially, a reducible metal compound and a reducing agent are dispersed in a liquid. The dispersion is then deposited on a substrate as a thin film. The thin film along with the substrate is subsequently exposed to a pulsed electromagnetic emission to chemically react with the reducible metal compound and the reducing agent such that the thin film becomes electrically conductive.

Inventors:

Ian M. Rawson - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

H05K 3/00
C08J 7/04

US Classification:

427511

Abstract:

A method for forming printed conductors on a flexible substrate is disclosed. Initially, an inorganic matrix precursor is printed onto a flexible substrate. The inorganic precursor is then cured with a light pulse to form a porous inorganic matrix thin film. A polymer is subsequently infused into the porous inorganic matrix thin film to form a polymer infused inorganic matrix thin film.

International Classification:

F26B 7/00

US Classification:

34306

Abstract:

A method for drying a thin film stack having a thin film located on a substrate is disclosed. The thin film stack is conveyed past a flashlamp during which the thin film stack is irradiated with a composite light pulse from the flashlamp. The composite light pulse is composed of multiple micropulses. The time duration of the composite light pulse is shorter than a total thermal equilibration time of the thin film stack. In addition, when the thin film stack is being conveyed past the flashlamp, the thin film stack should move less than 10% of the length of the irradiating area in the conveyance direction during the delivery of the composite light pulse.
