Abstract: A method is provided for repairing defects in a contact printed circuit. The method provides a substrate with a contact printed circuit formed on a substrate top surface. After detecting a discontinuity in a printed circuit feature, a bias voltage is applied to at least one of a first region of the printed circuit feature or a second region of the printed circuit feature.

Conductive ink is attracted into the electric field from the ink delivery nozzle. Conductive ink is printed on the discontinuity, forming a conductive printed bridge. Typically, the ink delivery nozzle is an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing nozzle.
