  • Method and system for manufacturing a workpiece using a polymer layer
    Patent number: 10524359
    Abstract: A method and system for manufacturing a workpiece is disclosed. The method comprises providing (810) a layer (120) of a polymeric material on at least a portion of a substrate (110) and patterning (830) the layer of polymeric material by exposing the layer with electromagnetic radiation having a frequency and amplitude within said certain frequency range and amplitude range so as to form a pattern of regions (122) having a first electrical conductivity and regions (124) having a second electrical conductivity. The method further includes the actions of mounting (840) an electronic component (140) on the layer of polymeric material and curing (850) the polymeric material. A workpiece comprising a substrate (110), a layer (120) of a polymeric material adapted to, in a non-cured state, to change its electrical conductivity when exposed with electromagnetic radiation (E) within a certain frequency and amplitude range is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
