Abstract
A system and process for manufacturing custom printed circuit boards on pre-provided substrates, wherein the substrate is pre-provided with standard integrated circuits. The standard integrated circuits are pre-provided on the substrate in a conventional manner, such as by standard integrated circuit technologies, in many different packing technologies. The user designs the custom printed circuit board using a design tool to perform one or more specific electronic functions, based on the pre-provided electronic devices, and/or custom designed and direct printed electronic devices. The electronic devices includes transistors, resistors, capacitors, among other types of devices. The system and process allows users to customize standard “generic” circuit boards with some known electronic functions for their own particular application. Examples of such uses include displays, the automotive industry and many others.
