Abstract
A process of forming an electric circuit on an insulating ceramic substrate or on an insulating ceramic layer of a substrate that includes depositing a conductive material over a surface of the ceramic substrate or layer; and directing a laser beam onto the conductive material over the ceramic substrate or layer and moving the laser beam relative to the ceramic substrate or layer along a predetermined pattern for the electric circuit, whereby the conductive material is melted over the ceramic substrate or layer to form a conductive track.

-20. (canceled)
A process of forming an electric circuit on a substrate, the process comprising:
- providing the substrate, the substrate having or including a ceramic surface;
- depositing a conductive material on the ceramic surface;
- and
- directing a laser beam onto the conductive material and moving the laser beam relative to the ceramic surface along a predetermined pattern for the electric circuit, thereby melting the conductive material onto the ceramic surface to form a conductive track.
