We have investigated the seed layer formation of front side contact using the inkjet printing process. Conductive silver ink was printed on textured Si wafers with 80 nm thick $SiN_x$ anti reflection coating (ARC) layers and thickened by light induced plating (LIP). The inkjet printable sliver inks were specifically formulated for inkjet printing on these substrates. Also, a novel method to prepare nano-sized glass frits by the sol-gel process with particle sizes around 5 nm is presented. Furthermore, dispersion stability of the formulated ink was measured using a Turbiscan. By implementing these glass frits, it was found that a continuous and uniform seed layer with a line width of $40{\mu}m$ could be formed by a inkjet printing process. We also investigated the contact resistance between the front contact and emitter using the transfer length model (TLM). On an emitter with the sheet resistance of $60{\Omega}/sq$, a specific contact resistance (${\rho}_c$) below $10m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ could be achieved at a peak firing temperature around $700^{\circ}C$. In addition, the correlation between the contact resistance and interface microstructures were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We found that the added glass particles act as a very effective fire through agent, and Ag crystallites are formed along the interface glass layer.

본 논문에서는 스크린 인쇄 방식으로 제작된 의복용 메타물질 흡수체를 제안한다. 제안된 흡수체의 단위구조의 도체 패턴 모양은 의류 브랜드인 샤넬 로고를 차용하였으며, FEM 방식의 시뮬레이션 툴을 사용하여 성능을 검증하였다. 또한, 성능을 검증하기 위해 일반적인 직물 원단 위에 전도성 잉크를 스크린 프린팅 방식으로 인쇄하여 시제품을 제작한 뒤, 벡터 회로망 분석기와 두 개의 도파관을 이용하여 반사계수를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 제안된 흡수체는 10.8 GHz에서 약 93 %에 가까운 흡수율을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.
