Abstract

Within the last decades, inkjet printing technology has developed from only a text and graphic industry to a major topic of scientific research and R&D. Inkjet printing can be used as a highly reproducible non-contact patterning technique to print at high speeds either small or large areas with high quality features; it requires only small amounts of functional materials, which immediately favors production costs. Furthermore, inkjet printing reduces the amount of processing steps due to its additive technique of materials deposition, which further decreases productions costs as well as time.

This contribution provides a number of alternative approaches to sinter inkjet printed metal precursor materials at temperatures that are compatible with cost-effective polymer foils. The prepared features can serve as interconnects and contacts for microelectronic applications, such as OLED and OPV.
