Claim Text:
1. A method of making electrically conductive micro-wires comprising: providing a substrate having a surface with one or more micro-channels having a width of less than 12 μm but not less than 0.5 μm; providing a composition directly over the substrate and in the one or more micro-channels, wherein the composition includes water and silver nanoparticles dispersed in the water and a weight percentage of silver in the composition is greater than 70% and a viscosity of the composition is in a range from 10 to 10,000 centipoise; removing the composition from the surface of the substrate, but leaving at least a portion of the composition in the micro-channels; and drying and converting the composition provided in the one or more micro-channels to form one or more electrically conductive micro-wires.
