Low-dose laser sintering of Cu nanoparticles on the ceramic substrate during ink-jet interconnection
نویسنده
چکیده
The deposition of nano-size copper particles was carried out by means of ink-jet printing on the ceramic substrate (silicon and faience) using Nd +3 :YAG laser. Glycerin and aqueous based nano copper inks were prepared and were inkjetted in this study. The sintered copper film had a grainy structure with neck-like junctions. The microstructure and soldering properties were examined using XRD, SEM-EDX and optical microscopy. The dependence of the electrical resistance of the ink-jetted copper interconnection lines on the parameters of laser sintering regimes was estimated.

متن کاملThe Effect of Laser Sintering Process Parameters on Cu Nanoparticle Ink in Room Conditions
Copper is an interesting material for printed electronics inks because, for example, of its good conductivity and lower raw material price compared to silver. However, post-processing Cu inks is challenging because of non-conductive copper oxide. In this work, inkjet-printed Cu nanoparticle structures were sintered on a polyimide substrate with a continuous-wave 808-nm diode laser. Laser sinter...
