Abstract

Development of cost effective manufacturing methods will enable the production of large-scale flexible electronics such as solar panels or sensors. Laser processing has shown to be a promising candidate that offers a fast and non-destructive way to produce highly conductive patterns on flexible substrates. The present study focuses on the investigation of the experimental parameters of laser sintering of printed Silver (Ag) lines on flexible substrates and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) structures on glass, using a Continuous Wave 455nm laser. Samples of different flexible substrates (kapton and FR4) and of different dimensions were irradiated using various irradiances, scanning speeds and two different scanning paths. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was applied for the morphological characterization of the samples, while electrical conductivity measurements were performed using a simple resistance measurement method. Conclusions of the present work will be used to discuss the potentiality of the method in flexible electronic devices such as photovoltaics and gas sensors.
