  • Patent number: 11426793
    Abstract: A method is provided to fabricate a high-power module. A non-touching needle is used to paste a slurry on a heat-dissipation substrate. The slurry comprises nano-silver particles and micron silver particles. The ratio of the two silver particles is 9:1˜1:1. The slurry is pasted on the substrate to be heated up to a temperature kept holding. An integrated chip (IC) is put above the substrate to form a combined piece. A hot presser processes thermocompression to the combined piece to form a thermal-interface-material (TIM) layer with the IC and the substrate. After heat treatment, the TIM contains more than 99 percent of pure silver with only a small amount of organic matter. No volatile organic compounds would be generated after a long term of use. No intermetallic compounds would be generated while the stability under high temperature is obtained. Consequently, embrittlement owing to procedure temperature is dismissed.

  • Patent number: 11331723
    Abstract: A light metal joint filler is provided. The light metal joint filler is formed by uniformly mixing a solvent with a light metal powder and a silver powder, where a powder particle size of the light metal powder is on a micron scale, and a powder particle size of the silver powder is on a nanometer scale or a submicron scale. A metal joining method of the present disclosure includes: coating a joint of two to-be-joined light metal pieces with the light metal joint filler; and hot pressing the two to-be-joined light metal pieces, so that the silver powder is sintered and bonded with the light metal powder and surfaces of the two to-be-joined light metal pieces, and completing joining of the two to-be-joined light metal pieces after the silver powder is condensed.

  • Publication number: 20180364222
    Abstract: A Janus particle includes a low-dimensional substrate and biomolecules. A surface of the low-dimensional substrate includes a biomolecule-modified region, wherein the biomolecules are attached on the surface of the low-dimensional substrate and in the biomolecule-modified region. The relationship between the surface area of the biomolecule-modified region and the total surface area of the low-dimensional substrate is represented as follows: (?)AS?AB?(½)AS where AB represents the surface area of the biomolecule-modified region, and AS represents the total surface area of the low-dimensional substrate.

  • Patent number: 9966168
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a conductive thin film includes the following steps: forming a polymer fiber made of a polymer and a metal precursor distributed in a surface layer near the surface of the polymer fiber; and applying a plasma treatment on the polymer fiber to concurrently etch the polymer and reduce the metal precursor in the surface layer of the polymer fiber. When the plasma treatment is completed, a metal membrane is formed on the surface of the polymer fiber.

  • Patent number: 9506148
    Abstract: A method for forming a flexible transparent conductive film includes steps of: (a) electrospinning a first solution, which contains a polymer, a solvent and a metal ion-containing precursor, to form an polymeric fiber onto a soluble substrate; (b) providing energy to reduce the metal ion-containing precursor of the polymeric fiber, so as to form metal seeds on the polymeric fiber; and (c) placing the polymeric fiber together with the soluble substrate into a second solution, such that the soluble substrate dissolves in the second solution to form an electroless-plating bath and such that the polymeric fiber is subjected to electroless plating to form a metal coating from the metal seeds.
