PROCESS OF MAKING ELECTROLESSLY PLATED AUTO-CALIBRATION CIRCUITS FOR TEST SENSORS

摘要

A method of forming an auto-calibration circuit to be used with a sensor package. The sensor package includes at least one test sensor and is adapted to be used with an instrument or meter. A substrate is provided. Catalytic ink or catalytic polymeric solution is applied to at least one side of the substrate to assist in defining electrical connections on the substrate. The substrate is electrolessly plated with the catalytic ink or catalytic polymeric solution to form the electrical connections of the substrate. The electrical connections convey auto-calibration information for the at least one test sensor to the instrument.
