Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for forming metal circuit patterns and other designs on greensheets and other substrates. The method and apparatus utilize a metal containing transfer sheet whereby selected portions of the metal containing transfer sheet are transferred to the greensheet forming the desired circuit pattern and then the transfer sheet removed. The metal containing transfer sheet may contain a release layer. Transfer methods include stamping, hot rolling, laser beam, heat, etc. and combinations thereof The transfer sheet may also have a stratified or graded vertical profile so that different conductivities or other circuit properties (transfer sheet adhesion, etc.) may be obtained in the formed pattern on the substrate.
