In this study, the two-dimensional transient temperature of printed Ag nanoparticle ink during continuous wave laser sintering was calculated. Ag nanoparticle ink was printed on a glass substrate by inkjet printing. Then, a 532-nm continuous wave laser with different laser intensities was irradiated on the printed Ag nanoparticle ink for 60 s. During laser irradiation, the in-situ specific resistance of the sintered ink was measured. To obtain the transient temperature of the sintered ink during the laser sintering process, a two-dimensional transient heat conduction equation was derived by applying the Wiedemann-Franz law. It was found that the specific resistance of the sintered ink decreased with an increase in the sintering temperature of the printed ink.

전자산업에서 소자를 제작하는 핵심공정으로써, 패턴을 형성하는 방식은 식각 마스크를 통해 이루어진다. 공정 순서는 원하는 물질을 증착한 후 사진공정 (photolithograpy)을 통하여 원하는 패턴의 감광제 식각마스크 (etch mask)를 형성하게 된다. 이후, 습식식각이나 건식식각을 통하여 물질의 불필요한 부분을 제거한 후 최종적으로 감광제 식각마스크를 제거하여 원하는 물질의 패턴을 얻게 된다. 최근에 소개된 잉크젯 프린팅 기술 (inkjet printing technology)은 나노 잉크를 이용하여 사진공정과 식각공정을 이용하지 않고, 직접 나노잉크를 분사하여 패턴을 형성하는 방법으로, 패터닝 공정을 단순화 시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 각종 전자 산업의 환경오염물을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있는 친환경기술이다. 특히, OLED, O-TFT, RF-ID, PCB 분야 등 다양한 전자산업분야의 제조기술로서 응용하고자, 전도성 폴리머나 실버 (silver) 나노파티클 잉크를 이용한 전도성 라인 패터닝 (line patterning)에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 강연에서는 친환경 생산공정기술 측면에서의 잉크젯기술을 분석하고, 기술의 구성요소, 응용분야, 기술 동향에 관해서 소개하고, 또한 현재 한국생산기술연구원에 진행하고 있는 잉크젯 프린팅 기술 기반의 인쇄전자 분야에 관한 내용을 소개한다.

잉크젯 프린팅 방법은 전도성 고분자 물질을 잉크 재료로 사용하여 전자 소자의 전극 패턴을 형성할 수 있으며 비접촉, drop-on-demand 공정으로 현재 많은 관심을 받고 있는 연구 분야이다. Ag는 $1.59{\mu}m{\cdot}cm$의 저항을 나타내는 가장 낮은 저항을 가지고 있는 물질 중의 하나이며, Ag 전도성 잉크는 고전도 패턴의 형성을 위해 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 a-IGZO 박막을 채널층으로 사용하여 Ag S/D 전극을 잉크젯 프린팅 방법으로 형성하여 산화물 트랜지스터를 제작하였다. a-IGZO 채널층은 $SiO_2$가 증착된 Si 기판위에 스퍼터링 방식으로 80 nm의 두께로 형성하였다. Ag S/D 전극은 10 pl의 카트리지가 장착된 Fujifilm Dimatix DMP 2800 장비를 사용하여 형성하였으며, 프린팅 후 $130^{\circ}C$로 20분간 열처리를 하였다. Fig. 1은 잉크젯 프린팅된 Ag S/D을 가진 a-IGZO의 트랜지스터 특성을 보여준다. 채널 W/L가 90/$50{\mu}m$ 구간에서 드레인 전압이 50 V 일때, 전계효과이동도 $0.27cm^2$/Vs, 문턱전압 6.03 V, 문턱전압 아래의 기울기 값은 2.06 V/dec를 얻었다. 이와 같은 특성은 잉크젯 프린팅 방법으로 Ag S/D 전극을 형성함으로써 산화물 TFT에서 잉크젯 프린팅 방식의 다양한 응용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Samsung Electro Mechanics ink jet has developed ultra high resolution alignment system. The alignment system has been developed for repeatable printing of conductive ink. The resolution of alignment system is 0.5um and the velocity of printing working plate is 1.5m/s. So far repeated printing results included sintering process have over 30um of drop mislocation data. In order to improve line thickness and conductivity of metal line, we need to develop the higher mechanical accurate align system. On the demand, this developed align system has under $1{\sim}2{\mu}m$ mispositioning performance and can measure of mechanical accuracy of inkjet printer, as well as the straightness of jetted drop from inkjet head. There is no kinds limit of substrate and ink to use SEM alignment system. By using this alignment system, we progress two experiment of reiterate printing drop and making conductive line on the glass and photo paper. Optical microscope and 3D profiler has been used for measurement of printed ink.

Electronics 분야에서 잉크젯 프린팅 배선 제작에 많이 사용되는 전도성 은 나노 잉크의 소성 특성을 연구하였다. 잉크젯 프린터를 이용하여 미세 배선을 인쇄하고, 열처리에 따른 비저항의 변화 양상을 관찰하였다. SEM을 통해 미세구조를 관찰하여 배선의 전기 저항과 미세 구조와의 상관관계를 고찰하였다. $250^{\circ}C$ 20분 동안 소성을 하였을 매 가장 낮은 비저항을 얻었으며 순수 은의 비저항 대비 약 2.6배였다. 또한 TEM을 통해 배선 내부의 pore를 관찰하였고, 그 분포올를 측정하였다.

The adhesive-tape of a liquid leak film sensor including the alarm system is developed. The sensing film is composed of three layers such as base film layer, conductive line layer, and protection film layer. The thickness of film is 300~500 um, the width is 3.55 cm, and the unit length is 200 m. On the conductive line layer, three conducting lines and one resistive line are formulated by the electronic printing method with a conducting ink of silver-nano size. When a liquid leaks for the electricity to be conducted between the conductive line and the resistive line, the position of leakage is monitored by measuring the voltage varied according to the change of resistance between two lines. The error range of sensing position of 200 m film sensor is ${\pm}1m$.

In this paper, a fully printed NFC tag operating at 13.56 MHz was designed and fabricated using silver nano-paste and carbon ink. The proposed NFC tag has a printed coil with an inductance of $2.74{\mu}H$ on a PI film for application to an NFC tag IC with an internal capacitance of 50 pF. Screen printing technology used in this paper has advantages such as large area printing for mass production, low cost and eco-friendly process compared to conventional PCB manufacturing process. The proposed structure consists of a circular coil implemented as a single layer using silver nano-paste and carbon ink, a jumper pattern for chip mounting between the outer edge and the center of the coil, and an insulation pattern between the coil and the jumper pattern. In order to verify the performance of the proposed NFC tag, we performed the measurements of the printing line width, thickness, line resistance, adhesion and environmental reliability, and confirmed the suitability of the NFC tag based on the full-printed manufacturing method.

The aim of this work was to obtain uniform and well-dispersed spherical silver nanoparticles using statistical design-of-experiment methods. We performed the experiments using 2 k fractional factorial designs with respect to key factors of a general chemical reduction method. The nanoparticles prepared were characterized by SEM, TEM and UV-visible absorbance for particle size, distribution, aggregation and anisotropy. The data obtained were analyzed and optimized using a statistical software, Minitab. The design-of-experiment methods using quantified data enabled us to determine key factors and appreciate interactions between factors. The measured properties of nanoparticles were dominated not only by individual one or two main factors but also by interactions between factors. The appropriate combination of the factors produced small, narrow-distributed and non-aggregated silver nanoparticles of about 30 nm with approximately 10% standard deviation.
