Here we developed a conductive ink which contains silver nanoparticles from which the electrodes for organic thin film transistor were directly patterned by ink-jet printing. To fabricate a coplanar type OTFT, solution processable semiconducting oligomer, ${\alpha},{\omega}-dihexylquaterthiophene$ (DH4T) was drop-cast onto between the ink-jet printed silver electrodes and I-V characteristics were measured.

To investigate the reliability of the conductive lines patterned by ink-jet printing, we evaluated the reliability of the ink-jet printed silver (Ag) patterns according to the guide lines built up as assessments methods in the production of conventional rigid printed circuit boards. The assessment methods include the uniformity of line width and space, adhesive strength, dielectric withstand, solder float, thermal shock test and pressure cooker test (PCT). To prepare assesment vehicles, different regular test patterns were created by Ag ink-jet printing on the same polyimide substrate for each of assessment methods.

Utilized in a variety of electronic components, electronic components industry with metallic ink technology was established itself as a major technology research and development was gradually increasing, silver ink that is excellent in conductivity and stability, have long been used in the industry of electronic components in recent years and silver ink has been the size of nanoscale particles dispersed by developing display, an electronic tag, a flexible circuit board or the like used in the semiconductor and electronics as has been highlighted in, however industry modernization of equipment by increasing the production and consumption of products generated during the production process and environmental pollutants by use of waste products is expected to bring a serious environmental problem. In this study, prepared by a wet reduction method, the manufacturing process of the silver nano-ink to the entire process of the environmental impact assessment (LCA) was evaluated using the techniques. Life cycle assessment software GaBi 6 was used as received from the relevant agencies of the silver nano-ink data with reference to the manufacturing process, building inventory was international organization for standardization (ISO) 14040, 14044 compliant LCA conducted over four stages.

The fabrication of a thin-film transistor backplane and a liquid-crystal display using printing processes can eliminate the need for photolithography and offers the potential to reduce the manufacturing costs. In this study, we prepare contact via structures through a poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer insulator layer using inkjet printing. When droplets of silver ink composed of a polymer solvent are placed onto the polymer insulator and annealed at high temperatures, the silver ink penetrates the interior of the polymer and generates conducting paths between the top and bottom metal lines through the partial dissolution and swelling of the polymer. The electrical property of various contact via-hole interconnections is investigated using a semiconductor characterization system.

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.

An addressable conducting network (ACN) makes it possible to monitor the condition of a structure using the electrical resistance between electrodes on the surface of a carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) structure. To improve the damage detection reliability of the ACN, the contact resistances between the electrodes and CFRP laminates needs to be minimized. In this study, silver nanoparticle electrodes were fabricated via printed electronics techniques on a CFRP composite. The contact resistance between the silver electrodes and CFRP were measured with respect to various fabrication conditions such as the sintering temperature of the silver nano-ink and the surface roughness of the CFRP laminates. The interfaces between the silver electrode and carbon fibers were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on this study, it was found that the lowest contact resistance of $0.3664{\Omega}$ could be achieved when the sintering temperature of the silver nano-ink and surface roughness were $120^{\circ}C$ and 0.230 a, respectively.

We report the transparentsilver nanowire electrode fabricated by a direct printing process, liquid-bridge-mediated nanotransfer molding. We fabricated silver nanowire arrays by liquidbridge- mediated nanotransfer molding using the silver nanoparticle ink and PEDOT:PSS polymer. Weinvestigated the formation of silver nanowire arrays by SEM and transmittance of the transparent silver nanowire electrode. We also measured the conductivity to confirm the potential of our approach.

Polymer thick film capacitors were successfully fabricated by using ink-jet printing and screen printing technology. First, a bottom electrode was patterned by ink-jet printing of a nano-sized silver ink. Next, a dielectric layer was formed by the screen printing, then a top electrode was pattern by ink-jet printing of a nano-sized silver ink. The printed area of the dielectric layers were changed into $2{\times}2m^2$and $4{\times}2m^2$, and also the area of the electrodes were patterned with $1{\times}1mm^2$ and $1{\times}3mm^2$. The thickness of the printed dielectric layer was ranged from 1.1 to $1.4{\mu}m$. The analysis of capacitances verified that the capacitances was proportional to the area of the printed electrode. The capacitances of the fabricated capacitors resulted in one third of the calculated capacitances.

In this paper, we have investigated the sintering of the organometallic silver electronic ink. We have changed the sintering temperature from 100 to $300^{\circ}C$ in the various atmospheres. The sheet resistance was abruptly changed at the temperature range between 115 and $120^{\circ}C$, due to the f of the crystalline silver resulting from the dissociation of Ag complex, which phenomenon has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The grain sizes of Ag films were about 50nm and 70nm at the sintering temperatures of 115 and $150^{\circ}C$, respectively.
