Conductivity and radio frequency performance data for silver nanoparticle inks deposited via aerosol jet deposition and processed under varying conditions.

ABSTRACT: In fabricating electronic components or devices via Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) there are numerous options for commercially available Metal NanoParticle (MNP) inks. Regardless of the MNP ink selected, the electrical properties of the final product are not commensurate to those of the bulk metal due to the inherent porosity and impurity-infused composition that is characteristic of these heterogeneous feedstock. Hence, choosing the best MNP ink for a particular application can be difficult, even among those based on the same metal, as each ink formulation can yield different performance metrics depending on the specific formulation and the conditions under which it is processed. In this article, the DC conductivity of AJP pads and the Radio Frequency (RF) transmission loss of AJP Coplanar Wa
