Conserving resources: Producing circuit boards with plasma

Tuesday, October 19, 2010 - 12:31 in Physics & Chemistry

There is a large growth market for flexible circuits, RFID antennas and biosensors on films. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST are presenting a new technology at K 2010, the international trade fair for plastics and rubber. The experts can now apply conductive metal circuits to plastic substrates in a process that is energy- and material-conserving and thus more sustainable.
