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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
