Abstract :

Printed electronics is a disruptive manufacturing technique that combines functional materials and printing to make electronic devices in new form factors and enables innovative products. Printed electronics will yield breakthrough technologies in sensing, displays and wireless communication. In this regard, copper based metal-organic decomposition (MOD) inks are promising alternative to silver based inks. We will present results on screen printable copper MOD inks that produce sheet resistivity values of 20-30 mOhm/sq/mil for 5-20 mil wide traces.
