- Abstract
- In this work, an experiment on furnace thermal sintering with printed silver (Ag) nanoparticle ink was carried out. The Ag nanoparticle ink employed in this study has a particle size of around 50 nm and particles constitute 34 wt% of the ink. The Ag nanoparticle ink was printed by inkjet printing. A thermal sintering process in a furnace was conducted at temperatures of 150, 200, and 250 °C for 20 to 3000 seconds. After sintering, electrical conductivities and cross-sectional images were measured. The specific resistance and the cross-sectional area of the sintered ink decrease as the sintering temperature increases. The SEM images indicate that surface premelting caused sintering below the melting temperature of silver, 960 °C, which increased neck growth and lowered the electrical resistance. Lastly, the minimum specific resistance of 7.08 μΩ·cm was obtained after sintering for 3000 s at 250 °C. This specific resistance value was 4.4 times larger than that of bulk silver.
