- Abstract
- Selective laser sintering enables the facile production of metal nanoparticle-based conductive layers on flexible substrates, but its application towards large-area electronics has remained questionable due to the limited throughput of the laser process that originates from the direct writing nature. In this study, modified optical schemes are introduced for the fabrication of (1) a densely patterned conductive layer and (2) a thin-film conductive layer without any patterns. In detail, a focusing lens is substituted by a micro lens array or a cylindrical lens to generate multiple beamlets or an extended focal line. The modified optical settings are found to be advantageous for the creation of repetitive conducting patterns or areal sintering of the silver nanoparticle ink layer. It is further confirmed that these optical schemes are equally compatible with plastic substrates for its application towards large-area flexible electronics.
