Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to circuit layouts that are compatible with printing electronic inks, printed circuits formed by printing an electronic ink or a combination of printing and conventional blanket deposition and photolithography, and methods of forming circuits by printing electronic inks onto structures having print-compatible shapes. The layouts include features having (i) a print-compatible shape and (ii) an orientation that is either orthogonal or parallel to the orientation of every other feature in the layout.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A layout for a printed circuit, comprising: a first layout consisting essentially of a first plurality of features, each of the first plurality of features being orthogonal or parallel to every other feature in the first plurality of features, the first plurality of features comprising (i) first print-compatible shape features and (ii) first and second subsets of features; and a second layout consisting essentially of a second plurality of features, each o…
