Electronic device fabrication on non-conductive polymer substrate

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A process for fabricating an electronic device on a non-conductive polymer substrate, particularly from the family of polyaniline, comprises applying a covalent doping agent, such as an R+ donor compound, where R is an organic group, e.g. methyl iodide, to a preselected portion of a base-type non-conductive polymer substrate containing carbon-nitrogen linkages, and converting such preselected portion of the polymer substrate to an electrically conductive polymer portion, by covalent linkage of the R groups of such donor compound, to nitrogen atoms of the non-conductive polymer substrate. Electronic devices such, as resistors, capacitors, inductors printed circuits and, the like, can be …
