  • Thermal and photonic sintering of printed traces.
  • Fabrication and characterization of printed thin film transistors (TFTs).

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved exceptional electrical conductivity (<10 mΩ/□/mil) and mechanical robustness in screen-printed traces.
    • Demonstrated submicron thicknesses and narrow line widths (as low as 41 μm) outperforming commercial benchmarks.
    • Successfully fabricated printed TFTs with mobilities of ~25 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹ and high on/off ratios (>10⁴).
    • Showcased conformal printing capabilities enabling metal-insulator-metal band-pass filters and conductive features on glass via aerosol jet printing.

    Conclusions:

    • The silver molecular ink platform provides a versatile, high-performance, and cost-effective solution for printed electronics.
    • Photonic sintering is demonstrated as a viable method for silver-salt-based inks, expanding processing options.
    • The ink enables the fabrication of advanced electronic components, including high-performance TFTs, comparable to evaporated metal contacts.
