Negative Direct Write at MicroConnex

	In negative direct write, laser ablation of a plating layer directly writes the desired pattern on the substrate.

	Overview of a negative direct write pattern in thin film ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) on a glass substrate; feature size here is 10 um.	Detail view of 10 um direct write in thin film ITO. Because of the speed and flexibility of direct write methods, new designs can be quickly and inexpensively evaluated, as in this early concept of a flat panel substrate.
