This study is carried out to develop the new process for the fabrication of ultra-fine electrodes on the flexible substrates using superhydrophobic effect. A facile method was developed to form the ultra-fine trenches on the flexible substrates treated by plasma etching and to print the fine metal electrodes using conductive nano-ink. Various plasma etching conditions were investigated for the hydrophobic surface treatment of flexible polyimide (PI) films. The micro-trench on the hydrophobic PI film fabricated under optimized conditions was obtained by mechanical scratching, which gave the hydrophilic property only to the trench area. Finally, the patterning by selective deposition of ink materials was performed using the conductive silver nano-ink. The interface between the conductive nanoparticles and the flexible substrates were characterized by scanning electron microscope. The increase of the sintering temperature and metal concentration of ink caused the reduction of electrical resistance. The sintering temperature lower than $200^{\circ}C$ resulted in good interfacial bonding between Ag electrode and PI film substrate.

전자 기기의 소형화, 집적화 및 박형화에 따라 인쇄회로기판 제조 시 미세한 회로 패턴이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 인쇄회로기판은 dry film resist를 이용한 photolithography 법을 적용하여 주로 제조하지만, 미세 회로 패턴 구현을 위해서는 정밀한 마스크 설계 및 고가의 노광장비 등이 필요하다는 한계점이 있다. 이에 따라서 최근에는 dry film resist를 대체하여 미세 회로 패턴 형성에 유리한 광경화형 잉크를 직접인쇄 공정을 통해 인쇄회로기판의 회로 패턴을 형성하는 연구들이 관심받고 있다. 광경화형 잉크를 통한 회로 패턴 형성을 위해서는 동박과의 밀착성, 패턴 형성 과정에서의 에칭 저항성, 박리 특성의 제어가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 광개시제 종류 및 함량이 다른 여러 광경화형 잉크를 제조하고 이들의 광경화 거동을 분석하였다. 또한, 광경화형 에칭 레지스트 잉크로의 적용성 평가를 위해 에칭 저항성, 박리성, 밀착성 등을 분석하였다.

In this paper a printing process for patterning electrodes on large area substrate was developed by combining screen printing with reverse off-set printing. Ag ink was uniformly coated by screen printing. And then etching resist (ER) was patterned in the Ag film by reverse off-set printing, and then the non-desired Ag film was etched off by etchant. Finally, the ER was stripped-off to obtain the final Ag patterns. We extracted the suitable conditions of reverse Using the process we successfully fabricated gate electrodes and scan bus lines of OTFT-backplane used for e-paper, in which the diagonal size was 6 inch, the resolution $320{\times}240$, the minimum line width 30 um, and sheet resistance 1 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$.

We have fabricated inverted staggered pentacene Thin Film Transistor (TFT) with 1-${\mu}m$ channel length by micro contact printing (${\mu}$-CP) method. Patterning of micro-scale source/drain electrodes without etching was successfully achieved using silver nano particle ink, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp and FC-150 flip chip aligner-bonder. Sheet resistance of the printed Ag nano particle films were effectively reduced by two step annealing at $180^{\circ}C$.

In this work, we have fabricated inverted staggered ZnO TFTs with 1-${\mu}m$ resolution channel length by micro contact printing (${\mu}$-CP) method. Patterning of micro scale source/drain electrodes without etching is successfully achieved by micro contact printing method by using silver ink and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp. And the time dependent characteristics of the sheet resistance show that Ag inklayer could be used as source and drain electrodes for ZnO TFTs.
