Publication number: 20170236610Abstract: An alkoxysilane comprising a functional group is used as an additive in the silver nanoparticle ink, and as an adhesion promoter (or primer layer) on the surface of the substrate in order to enhance the adhesion of silver nanoparticle inks on temperature-sensitive plastic substrates. The combination of the functionalized alkoxysilane both in the ink and on the substrate's surface provides enhanced adhesion after annealing the ink at a low temperature. The adhesion of the annealed films improves from a 0B-3B level to 4B-5B when tested according to ASTM D3359. No degradation of adhesion and no change of color are observed after aging the annealed films in a humidity chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2016Publication date: August 17, 2017Applicant: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Yiliang Wu, Barry C.

Publication number: 20150294872Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for creating electrical contacts in optoelectronic and electronic devices, including high and low concentration solar cells, thin films, organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and in general any device requiring the extraction or injection of a current by means of electrical contacts. The method comprises the following stages: (a) depositing the contact material on the final substrate through the laser induced forward transfer (LIFT) of said material from a donor substrate to the final substrate, preferably using a pulsed laser and (b) sintering the contact material using a laser source, preferably a continuous laser. The contacts thus created present excellent conductivity and adherence properties, as well as high height (thickness) to width ratios.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2013Publication date: October 15, 2015Applicant: Abengoa Solar new Technologies, S.A.Inventors: Carlos Luís Molpeceres Álvarez, Miguel Morales Furió, Isabel Sánchez-Aniorte, Mónica Alejandra Colina Brito, Joaquín Murillo Gutiérrez, José María Delgado Sánchez, Emilio Sánchez Cortezón
