Patterning Silver Films
1. Laser patterning of silver nanowire thin films
A new process pioneered at Laserod.
The world’s first publication on this novel process is an article by Laserod’s Terry Pothoven appearing in the September 2012 issue of Information Display magazine. Silver nanowire is a new transparent conductive coating competitive with indium tin oxide, ITO. It exhibits significant performance and cost advantages over conventional wet etch of ITO.

2. Laser Patterning of Silver Paste Interconnect
We are seeing an increasing interest in silver paste for interconnect. Areas of purely conductive silver paste are adjacent to areas of transparent and conductive ITO or silver nanowire.
