Abstract:
This invention claims a method for creating patterns of carbon or other elements as deposits on the surface of substrates or as self-supporting filaments in liquid or solid media by the selected application of directed energy. In some embodiments, the deposits or filaments may be of primary interest because of their mechanical properties. In other embodiments, the patterns may have useful physical properties such as being electrically conductive, semi-conductive or electric insulators. Many different deposit precursors, types of directed energy, and adjunct reagents are described. The invention anticipates numerous different embodiments created by selecting various combinations of these elements and sequences of application as a means to build complex devices. In particular, the patterns may constitute the elements of an electric circuit or device (e.g., wires, capacitors, diodes, transistors).

Claim (Index 28):
The method for creating electrically conducting patterns on substrates by directed energy deposition of carbon as claimed in  claim 23  or  claim 27 , wherein directed energy may be in one or more forms of energy comprising:\n electromagnetic radiation (x-rays, UV, visible, or IR) either as a focused or collimated beam or as a laser beam (without using an opaque mask to define the pattern of energy application); \n energy derived from electromagnetic radiation delivered in a specific pattern (without using an opaque mask) produced by interference patterns of electromagnetic waves including laser holography; \n high kinetic energy particles (electrons (beta rays), alpha particles, protons or other atomic nuclei), which preferentially deposit energy at the Bragg peak and may be guided by magnetic or electrostatic fields; \n electromagnetic induction (used to selectively heat conducting materials used as substrates); or \n electric currents passed from controlling electrodes through the medium containing the deposit precursors.
