Abstract
A method for direct writing an electrically conductive metallic feature on an insulating substrate comprises creating a gas jet comprising metallic particles (301), ejecting the gas jet comprising metallic particles through a straight bore tube (302), and impacting the gas jet comprising metallic particles onto a substrate to impinge the metallic particles on the substrate to form the electrically conductive metallic feature (303).

A method for direct writing an electrically conductive metallic feature on an insulating substrate comprising:
- creating a gas jet comprising metallic particles;
- ejecting the gas jet comprising metallic particles through a straight bore tube;
- and
- impacting the gas jet comprising metallic particles onto a substrate to impinge the metallic particles on the substrate to form the electrically conductive metallic feature.
A method for direct writing of a metallic conductor feature onto an insulating substrate comprising:
- producing a mixture of a metal powder and a gas;
- accelerating the mixture in a subsonic carrier gas jet through a straight-bore tube;
- directing the subsonic carrier gas jet onto the substrate;
- and
- manipulating one of the subsonic carrier gas jet and the substrate in a predetermined pattern for forming the metallic conductor feature.
A system for direct writing a metallic conductor feature onto a substrate comprising:
- a means for providing a metallic material;
- a means for providing an accelerant;
- a means for mixing the metallic material and accelerant;
- a straight bore tube for receiving a mixture of metallic material and accelerant and depositing a portion of the mixture of metallic material and accelerant onto a substrate.
