Abstract

This paper reports sintering condition effect on an ink-jet printed conductive pattern of silver ink made on a cellulose paper. To fabricate the conductive pattern on the cellulose paper, silver ink is ink-jet printed and the influence of sintering temperature and time is investigated in terms of electrical resistivity and morphology by using scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope. Two-level baking process composed of soft baking and hard baking is found to be effective for silver nanoparticle network. The sintering temperature and time are strongly associated with the conductivity of the ink-jet printed pattern.
