Abstract
This paper describes a method of forming different conductor edge cross-section angles by using thick-film screen printing on substrates of different surface roughness. The edge angle for each surface type is compared visually and measured using an interferometer microscope. The conductor edge angle is correlated to the respective transmission loss sample. The impact of different edge angles on conductor loss is observed.
