The technique combined Micropen direct writing, which deposited electronic pastes onto substrate according to the designed pattern, with laser microcladding to produce finer electrical components to overcome the resolution limitation of Micropen direct writing.
Laser micro-cladding electronic pastes may become a novel technique to fabricate high quality conductive lines (electrodes) and resistors with good properties that will come into industrial application in the future.
In this paper, a technique named laser micro-cladding electronic pastes is used to fabricate the thick film resistor and electrode units on insulator substrates without using a mask.
The electronic pastes, composed of silver powders, inorganic binders and organic medium, thus formed the conductive metal pattern (i.e. electric circuit) along the path of the laser allowing the rest of the layer to be removed subsequently by an organic solvent.
FERRO CORP., Cleveland, a maker of chemicals and plastics, said it had acquired the EMCA-Remex unit of the National Starch and Chemical Company, Bridgewater, N.J., for an undisclosed price to broaden its electronic-pastes product line.

In the mass assembly of today's electronic circuits, solder paste is first printed onto the surface of the assembly boards through a metal mask called a stencil.
The proliferation of instruments producing data in a digital format means that even researchers still exclusively using paper notebooks have had to change their behaviour, either by printing out electronic data and pasting it into their paper-notebooks, or storing digital files and including a reference to the storage location and file names within their notebooks [9].
In some instances it involved the location of specific recommendations from throughout the body of the report; in most cases it comprised a more straightforward electronic cutting-and-pasting of a recommendations section into a text file.
As a counter electrode Pt paste (Gwent Electronic Materials, UK) was applied onto the back side of the YSZ single crystals.
