Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a pattern of conductive objects, the method comprising: depositing in a vacuum deposition chamber an electrically conductive material onto a substrate to form a base layer; applying an electric insulating agent on selective areas of the base layer, wherein the selective areas are substantially complementary to areas pre-designed to carry the conductive objects; electroplating the areas pre-desigined to carry the conductive objects with a second electrically conductive layer; removing the electric insulating agent; chemically etching so as to remove the base layer from the selective areas and a top layer of the of the second electrically conductive layer to create the pattern of conductive objects on the substrate; and wherein the pattern of conductive objects being an array of transparent electrodes, heaters or electromagnetic interference shields.
