Process of Making Components for Electronic and Optical Devices Using Laser Processing on a Patterned Conductive Film

A process of making an electrical component, an optical component or a combined electrical and optical component, said process comprising pattern illumination-based annealing a coated substrate comprising a substrate having a first side and a second side,

• c.) said substrate's first side comprising;
• (iii) one or more coatings of patterned electrical conductive material disposed over said substrate's first side, preferably said patterned electrical conductive material comprises a material selected from the group consisting of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate, poly(pyrrole), polycarbazoles, polyindoles, polyazepines, Cr, Mo, Ti, Sc, Ni, V, Hf, W, Nb, Au, Ag, Cu, and Pt and mixtures thereof;
• (iv) one or more chemical coatings disposed over said one or more coatings of patterned electrical conductive material, said one or more chemical coatings each independently comprising a transition metal and an element selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorous and mixtures thereof, said one or more chemical coatings each independently comprising at least one of an amorphous, nanocrystalline, microcrystalline or crystalline region;
• d.) said substrate's second side optionally comprising:
• (iii) one or more coatings of patterned electrical conductive material disposed over said substrate's first side, preferably said patterned electrical conductive material comprises a material selected from the group consisting of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate, poly(pyrrole), polycarbazoles, polyindoles, polyazepines, Cr, Mo, Ti, Sc, Ni, V, Hf, W, Nb, Au, Ag, Cu, and Pt and mixtures thereof;
• and
• (iv) one or more chemical coatings disposed over said one or more coatings of patterned electrical conductive material, said one or more chemical coatings each independently comprising a transition metal and an element selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorous and mixtures thereof, said one or more chemical coatings each independently comprising at least one of an amorphous, nanocrystalline, microcrystalline or crystalline region;
• said pattern illumination-based annealing comprising using one or more lasers and/or lamps to achieve at least one of a chemical change or structural change in at least a portion of at least one of said one or more chemical coatings on at least one side of said substrate, and optionally the removal of at least a portion of said chemical coating on at least one side of said substrate.
