Printing gold nanoparticles with an electrohydrodynamic direct-write device

A dispersion containing 15nm gold particles in ethanol was subjected to electrohydrodynamic atomization, producing droplets with an average size of ~2 6m as measured by laser diffraction. An electrohydrodynamic direct-write device was used to deposit the dispersion onto silicon wafers with the intention of printing gold tracks. Immediately after deposition ethanol evaporated, leaving the gold particles organised in a ~7 5m wide central region surrounded by two regions, each ~5 0m wide, at the edge of which two further gold tracks, each ~7 m existed.

“…1,2 To date, a variety of device fabrication methods using this technique have been proposed, including those for the fabrication of electrooptic devices, 35 gas sensors, 68 electrochromic devices (ECDs), 9 interconnections for circuitry on a printed-circuit board (PCB), 10 thin-film transistors (TFTs), 11 organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), 12 large-area displays, 13 and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. 14,15 For patterning electrodes and wires of the devices, metal nanoparticles, such as Au, 1517 Ag, 18,19 and Cu 20,21 have been studied as promising ink particles, since the particles exhibit good dispersibility in solvents through coating of the particle surfaces with organic monolayers, and they form flexible films with high metal content after being cured.…”

Gold-nanoparticle Inks for Room-temperature Formation of Conductive Films

We show that aqueous inks containing Au nanocrystals that were slightly modified with mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA, IUPAC name: sulfanylsuccinic acid) turn into conductive films after being cured in room-temperature air. Because of the highly hydrophilic nature of MSA, the nanoparticles maintain good dispersion in water. The conductive film exhibits an electrical resistivity in the order of 10 ¹5 ³ cm, and its temperature coefficient in the range from 290 to 20 K was 7 © 10 ¹5

“…Another method that have been used for the direct-write farbrication of electric circuit is direct ink-jet printing of metallo-organic decomposition inks [3], metal nanoparticle inks or mixtures of the two and subsequent thermal decomposition and sintering to yield metal thin films. In this case, however, the required thermal treatment at temperatures in excess of 300 o C precludes the use of thermally-sensitive substrates such as polymers in addition to the challenge of formulating such inks and ensuring adequate adhesion between the metal film and the substrate [4].…”

Abstract:We report the direct-write fabrication of electric circuits on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates by a low temperature technique. To demonstrate the utility of the concept, Radio Frequency Identification Circuit and Antenna Structures were fabricated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET), using a 300 dpi drop-on-demand HP DeskJet system. First, each substrate was prepared by low frequency atmospheric plasma etching, followed by tin (II) chloride treatment to enhance wetting. Then a catalytic silver seed layer pattern was bubble-jet printed onto the surface. Finally, the substrate was developed in a copper electroless plating bath for 10 min. to yield a 2.5 µm copper film with a sheet resistance of 3.4 Ωsq. The as-deposited film was shiny with a surface roughness of less than 8.7nm, which is about 0.35% of the film thickness. The films were characterized by SEM, EDX, profilometry, optical microscopy, and four-point probe resistivity measurement. This technology may be adapted for the direct-write fabrication of antenna structures for communication devices and space science applications.
