We have studied ink-jet printing method for patterning conductive line on flexible plastic substrates. Synthesized silver nano-particles of ${\sim}$20nm were used for the conductive ink and the printed patterns exhibit a smooth line whose linewidth is below 100 ${\mu}m$. This ink-jet printing technique can be applied to flexible displays and electronics.

The metal films ink-jetted using the conductive ink based on a mixture of copper and silver nanoparticles were investigated. The porosity and resistivity of films were minimized by adjusting the mixing ratio of Cu and Ag nanoparticles. We demonstrated that the printed tracks with good conductivity could be obtained at sufficiently lower annealing temperatures where plastic substrates could be used.

Inkjet printing has become one of the most attractive manufacturing techniques in industry. Especially inkjet printing technology will soon be part of the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) fabrication processes. Traditional printing on PCB includes screen printing and photolithography. These technologies involve high costs, time-consuming procedures and several process steps. However, by inkjet technology manufacturing time and production costs can be reduced, and procedures can be more efficient. PCB manufacturers therefore willingly accept this inkjet technology to the PCB industry, and are quickly shifting from conventional to inkjet printing. To produce the printed circuit board by the inkjet technology, it must be harmonized with conductive nano ink, printing process, system, and inkjet printhead. In this study, micro patterning of conductive line has been investigated using the piezoelectric printhead driven by a bipolar voltage signal is used to dispense 20-40 ${\mu}m$ diameter droplets and silver nano ink which consists of 1 to 50 nm silver particles that are homogeneously suspended in an organic carrier. To fabricate a conductive line used in PCB with high precision, a printed line width was calculated and compared with printing results.

본 연구에서는 non-contact deposition method의 일환인 ESD (electroctatic deposition)의 박막공정을 이용하여 Conductive layer 위에 Gold nanoparticles 및 Silver nanoparticles 등 organic/inorganic nano particle conductive ink system의 단분산 2D 박막을 제조를 연구하였다. ESD head를 통해 여러가지 organic / inorganic nano particle conductive ink system을 Deposition하였으며 분산도가 높고 균일한 단분산의 2차원 박막 구조를 얻을 수 있었으며, 전도성 PEDOT과의 Hybridization을 통해 균일상의 표면 Morphology를 갖는 고 전도성 투명 필름을 제작하였다. ESD technique를 이용하는 박막공정 기술은 나노입자 및 나노구조물의 박막화 패턴화를 포함하는 새로운 Deposition 기술로써 이를 응용하여 금속 나노입자의 2차원의 패턴화된 박막 구현을 통해 유기반도체 및 전자소자에의 응용성을 증거할 수 있었다.

Noncontact direct-printed conductive silver patterns with an enhanced electrical resistivity are fabricated using a silver ink with a mixture of silver nanoparticles and nanoplates. The microstructure and electrical resistivity of the silver pattern are systematically investigated as a function of the mixing ratio of the nanoparticles and nanoplates. The pattern, which is fabricated using a mixture with a mixing ratio of 3(nanoparticles):7(nanoplates) and sintered at $200^{\circ}C$ shows a highly dense and well-sintered microstructure and has a resistivity of $7.60{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. This originates a mutual synergistic effect through a combination of the sinterability of the nanoparticles and the packing ability of the nanoplates. This is a conductive material that can be used to fabricate noncontact direct-printed conductive patterns with excellent electrical conductivity for various flexible electronics applications, including solar cells, displays, RFIDs, and sensors.

In this investigation, conductivity of conductive inks was measured. A particular attention has been given to the effect of metal powders with various conductivity on the overall conductivity of the bulk ink. The conductivity of various solutions simulating conductive inks consisting of copper and silver was measured and the results have been discussed in relation to various applications of conductive inks in practice. A conductivity model simulating systems consisting of various materials has been introduced and the results were discussed. Materials of good conductivity are adversely affected by mixing with materials of poor conductivity simply through serial connection. However, parallel connection has rather little effect on the overall conductivity. The practical implication of various mixtures of materials on conductive inks has been discussed.
