Abstract

A process of patterning a conductive film. The process comprises providing a substrate comprising a conductive film positioned on a surface of the substrate. A hydrophilic primer layer is coated on the conductive film. Droplets of etchant are ejected from an inkjet printer in an imagewise pattern onto the primer layer to pattern the conductive film. The primer layer is removed from the substrate.
