Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an electrical component (100) includes providing a substrate (104), applying an insulating layer (110) on the substrate, applying a circuit layer (112) on the insulating layer, irradiating the insulating layer with an electron beam (114) to transform the insulating layer, and irradiating the circuit layer with an electron beam to transform the circuit layer. The substrate may be a metallic substrate that is highly thermally conductive. The insulating layer provides electrical isolation and effective heat transfer between the circuit layer and the substrate. The method may include coupling a light emitting diode module (102) or other active circuits requiring thermal management to the circuit layer resident on the electrically insulating/thermally conducting layer.
