Method of manufacturing transparent conducting structures and use of transparent conducting oxide layers to pattern transparent conducting regions

摘要

Production of an electrical and optical structure on a substrate comprises using a laser beam. Preferred Features: The substrate is made of indium-tin oxide layer system built up from InO and SnO layers or InO and Sn layers. The conducting pathway formed from the layer system is reinforced by applying a metal. The laser is Nd:YAG laser. The substrate is etched after being subjected to the laser beam.
