Circuit on glass substrate

Circuit on glass substrate

2007-07-23 by jeromedecock

Hi!

I have one of these VFD display (http://www.jogis-roehrenbude.de/
Roehren-Geschichtliches/Nixie/ILZ-1.htm ) russian made and it has a 
circuit "printed" on glass. The traces are clean and the substrate is 
transparent, anybody knows how these are produced? I would like to 
have a glass / transparent PCB with solderable tracks.

Thanks!

Most likely vacuum deposition, commonly called "sputtering"

Thank you. Any link to a producer (using sputtering) for like 300 
pieces maximum?

Otherwise I found this screenprintable ink Electrodag 461SS (from 
Acheson Colloids) that has to be cured in between 70 and 250 Degrees 
(C). Anyone has experience with screen printing circuits (with heat 
cured inks) ?

GTG.............

i.e. Go To Google.

I think that some of the people who do art work on stained glass, might 
lead you into
outfits that do sputtering.  The technique is very common in the 
semiconductor fab industry.

I just did a 10 second Google and came up with the
URL below where the person explains how he made his own sputtering rig
out of a pressure cooker, power supply, and few other items.

It seems that this ink cold be very well used for trough hole plating.
At least I have seen something similar at LKPF...
Have you seen any conductive ink that could printed with an inkjet
printer ?
