NovaCentrix PCS 1100 Curing System To Be Displayed at IDTechEx 2007

AUSTIN, Texas—NovaCentrix, a leader in emerging printed electronics technologies, announced that one of its printed electronics curing systems will for the first time be on display and operating at the IDTechEx conference in San Francisco, Nov. 13-14. Branded as Photonic Curing systems, this patented technology instantly cures and sinters metal based inks at room temperature by exposing the printed patterns to a millisecond-long intense pulse of light from high-energy flash lamps. The system rapidly and selectively heats and fuses metallic ink particles forming highly conductive traces without heating the base substrate material. With Photonic Curing technology, printed conductive patterns and traces can be cured without the dwell-times associated with thermal cure systems, and on substrates which cannot tolerate the elevated temperatures of thermal cure systems.
