TECHNIQUE FOR PLATING SUBSTRATE DEVICES USING VOLTAGE SWITCHABLE DIELECTRIC MATERIAL AND LIGHT ASSISTANCE

摘要

An electroplating process is performed using a substrate that includes a thickness of voltage switchable dielectric (VSD) material having photoactive components that are dispersed, mixed or dissolved in a binder of the VSD material. A pattern of conductive elements may be formed on the substrate by switching the VSD material from a dielectric state to a conductive state using, in part, voltage generated by directing light onto the thickness and VSD material.
