New Device Enables More Intricate Printing of Electronic Circuits
Mitani Micronics of Saga Prefecture, Fine Coating of Nagasaki Prefecture, and the Industrial Technology Center of Nagasaki, a public sector research institute, have begun sales of a device they developed of a new screen mask for printing intricate electronic circuit designs on ceramics and other materials. The mask is the first in the world to use diamond-like carbon, a very hard film. The product can be used to make the parts for manufacturing equipment that will result in smaller and lighter cell phones and digital cameras.
