Abstract:
Methods of facilitating commercial production of supported conductive networks without the use of hazardous chemicals including using heat flowable adhesive in the formation of the networks (2), providing contact pads (8) exposed through a dielectric substrate (6) which supports a conductive network (2), using the thickness of a conductor (4) supporting dielectric layer (6) to space the conductors (2) and providing conductor and waste material (18) cross-sections trapezoidal in shape in a non-planar pattern during manufacture of the networks.
