Conductive Networks on Patterned Substrates

摘要

Among other things, self-assembled conductive networks are formed on a surface of substrate containing through holes. The conductive network having a pattern is formed such that at least some of the conductive material in the conductive network reaches into the holes and, sometimes, even the opposite surface of the substrate through the holes. The network on the surface of the substrate electrically connects to the conductive material in the holes with good conductance.

1. An article comprising:
a substrate comprising a first surface, a second surface, a thickness from the first surface to the second surface, and one or more holes extending through the thickness of the substrate; a conductive material within the one or more holes; and a self-assembled conductive network on the first surface, the self-assembled conductive network comprising the conductive material and being in electrical communication with the conductive material within the one or more holes.
