PCB DIY Procedure & Materials

In order to accelerate the process of building our Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for multi-pixel tactile display based on electrovibration, we need to come up a clear, step-by-step procedure for PCB design and building. Can you do a thorough research quickly on this topic and list all the steps? At the same time, identify all the required materials, equipment, tools, and chemicals in each step, and compile a complete list at the end. The final list should also include vendors, pricing, and any safety concerns.We will discuss the procedure and material list after the break.

RE: Patents

It's a good list to include the newly granted and applied patents. However, you should include an analysis section to

• analyze those patents and describe the types, scopes & trend, and 
• identify the possible areas of future innovation.
