Abstract
A method of manufacturing a patterned conductor is provided, comprising: providing a substrate, comprising: a base material with an electrically conductive layer disposed thereon; providing an electrically conductive layer etchant; providing a spinning material, comprising: a carrier; and, a photosensitive masking material; providing a developer; forming a plurality of masking fibers and depositing them onto the electrically conductive layer to form a plurality of deposited fibers; patterning the plurality of deposited fibers to provide a treated fiber portion and an untreated fiber portion; developing the plurality of deposited fibers, wherein either the treated fiber portion or the untreated fiber portion is removed, leaving a patterned fiber array; contacting the electrically conductive layer to the electrically conductive layer etchant, wherein the electrically conductive layer that is uncovered by the patterned fiber array is removed, leaving a patterned conductive network on the substrate.
