Advances in Conductive Inks across Multiple Applications and Deposition Platforms

by: Scott E. Gordon, Jay R. Dorfman, Daniel Kirk, Kerry Adams; DuPont Microcircuit Materials

Printed Electronics is generally defined as the patterning of electronic materials, in solution form, onto flexible substrates, omitting any use of the photolithography, etching, and plating steps commonly found within the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) industry. The origins of printed electronics go back to the 1960s, and close variants of several original applications and market segments remain active today. Through the 1980s and 1990s Printed Electronic applications based on Membrane Touch Switch and Electroluminescent lighting technologies became common, and the screen printed electronic materials used then have formed the building blocks for many of the current and emerging technologies and applications.

First published in the 2012 IPC APEX EXPO technical conference proceedings.
