CIT Technology launches new website

CIT technology, formerly Conductive Inkjet Technology, has launched its new website and brand. The relaunched site focuses on the company's core activities of producing inkjet printed flexible circuits.

 

CIT Technology's new website was launched this month to focus on the core activities of manufacturing inkjet printed flexible electronic circuits. The company has also changed its name from Conductive Inkjet Technology to CIT Technology.

Founded in 2002, CIT developed and patented a revolutionary two-stage print and plate process that enables copper to be printed onto PET substrates. The first stage prints a catalytic ink onto the substrate, the second stage immerses the image in an electroless plating solution to deposit solid metal onto the printed pattern.

The inkjet printing process is at the heart of CIT's prototyping and contract manufacturing services. Being completely digital there are no tooling costs meaning low-cost, rapid turn round prototyping can be offered. And as the print and plate are reel to reel processes, it also means that long production runs benefit from high speed and lower costs.

CIT has also developed a photolithographic process to produce copper flex circuits with sub five micron feature size. This resolution is not practical by current printing technologies. The process uses a glass photomask to expose a specially coated PET film with UV light. The irradiated areas are rendered insoluble and a developer solution is used to remove the unexposed catalyst material. 

Using this technology CIT produces a range of touch screen materials working exclusively with Atmel Corporation. Atmel use its touch screen material in their award winning XSense® screens. Atmel’s XSense® was selected by EDN China as a “Top 10 Most Influential Technologies for the Future.”
