Hamamatsu Photonics | Optimize printed electronics manufacturing with laser sintering

Author: Mr Naveen Balla, info@hamamatsu.de The production of printed electronics represents a transformative approach to manufacturing electronic devices. Switching from complex technologies like etching or lithography to a printing process significantly simplifies production, offering a cost-effective, versatile, and straightforward pathway to fabricating electronic components on various substrates. As a result, printed electronics are used in a wide range of devices, including flexible displays, thin-film transistors, sensors, and photovoltaic cells. While already common in various industries, production equipment for printed electronics still has room for improvement to optimize manufacturing efficiency. One important aspect of this optimization, especially when using metal nanoparticle inks, is the sintering process. The sintering step includes fusing the metal nanoparticles in ink ensuring the required low resistivity of the finished circuits. For this task, heating ovens, NIR emitters, and broadband flash lamps are established technologies, but they suffer from drawbacks that limit the speed or efficiency of production. In this article, we present five aspects of printing equipment that can be improved by switching to laser sintering. Table 1: Comparison of different sintering methods We are exhibiting! Visit our booth at the flagship TechBlick event in Berlin on 23-24 October 2024. Let's RESHAPE the Future of Electronics together, making it Additive, Sustainable, Fle...
