  • Jet Dispensing Electrically Conductive Inks
    Publication number: 20200093002
    Abstract: A method of forming a conductive trace that includes steps of A) selecting a substrate, B) providing a jet dispenser, C) selecting a conductive ink, D) measuring the ink's viscosity (Vm), E) using Vm to select one of criteria (i)-(iv), F) applying the selected criteria to the dispenser, and G) applying the ink onto the substrate; and drying, curing, or annealing the ink to form the conductive trace having ?4B adhesion. The criteria (i)-(iv) include: (i) (Vm) >2.0 Pa-s, then (1) add a fluid—repeat D)-E) or (2) repeat C)-E); (ii) 2.0 Pa-s?Vm>0.35 Pa-s, use needle diameter ?3.0 mm & nozzle diameter (d) ?0.15 mm with ratio of nozzle length (L) to nozzle diameter (d) ?30; (iii) Vm<0.25 Pa-s, use a needle diameter ?1.0 mm and <3.0 mm & nozzle diameter ?0.15 mm with L/d ?30; or (iv) 0.25 Pa-s?Vm?0.35 Pa-s, use criteria (ii) or (iii).

  • Jet dispensing electrically conductive inks
    Patent number: 10276937
    Abstract: A method of forming a conductive trace that includes selecting a substrate, jet dispenser, and conductive ink; measuring the ink's viscosity (Vm); using Vm to select one of criteria (i)-(iv): applying the selected criteria to the dispenser; applying the ink onto the substrate; and drying, curing, or annealing the ink to form the conductive trace having ?4B adhesion. The criteria (i)-(iv) including: (i) (Vm)>2.0 Pa-s, then (1) add a fluid—repeat D)-E) or (2) repeat C)-E); (ii) 2.0 Pa-s?Vm>0.35 Pa-s, use needle diameter ?3.0 mm & nozzle diameter (d)?0.15 mm with ratio of nozzle length (L) to nozzle diameter (d)?30; (iii) Vm<0.25 Pa-s, use a needle diameter ?1.0 mm and <3.0 mm & nozzle diameter ?0.15 mm with L/d?30; or (iv) 0.25 Pa-s?Vm?0.35 Pa-s, use criteria (ii) or (iii).
