    摘要: Provided herein are a method and apparatus for the formation of conductive films on a substrate using precise sintering of a conductive film and thermal management of the substrate during sintering. In particular, a method may include depositing a conductive metal-based ink on a translucent or transparent substrate, positioning a mask between the deposited conductive metal-based ink and a light source, exposing the mask and the underlying deposited conductive metal-based ink to the light source, sintering the conductive metal-based ink exposed to the light source, and cleaning the non-sintered conductive metal-based ink from the translucent or transparent substrate. The mask may be configured to shield at least a portion of the conductive metal-based ink from the light source. The portion of the conductive metal-based ink shielded from the light source may remain non-sintered in response to the sintering of the conductive metal-based ink exposed to the light source.

    摘要: An apparatus (201) comprises a light emitter (202) and a photodetector (203) formed on a single fluid-permeable substrate (206) such that the photodetector (203) is able to detect light emitted by the light emitter (202) after interaction of the light with a user of the apparatus (201). The photodetector comprises a channel member (207) which may be made from graphene, respective source and drain electrodes (208, 209), a layer of photosensitive material (210) configured to vary the flow of electrical current through the channel member (207) on exposure to light from the light emitter (202), and a gate electrode (211). The apparatus (201) further comprises a layer of fluid-impermeable dielectric material (212) configured to inhibit a flow of electrical current between the channel member (207) and the gate electrode (211) of the photodetector (203) to enable the electrical conductance of the channel member (207) to be controlled by a voltage applied to the gate electrode (211) and to inhibit exposure of the light emitter (202) to fluid which has permeated through the fluid-permeable substrate (206). The layer of fluid-impermeable dielectric material (212) allows resilient substrates made from polymeric material to be used without the risk of damage to the overlying components caused by the permeated fluid. The dual functionality of the layer of fluid-impermeable dielectric material (212) reduces the number of fabrication steps used to form the apparatus (201) and results in a thinner, more compact device.
