Abstract: | This article describes fabrication of Ag micropatterns on a flexible polyimide (PI) film by laser direct writing using an
Ag nanoparticle-dispersed film as a precursor. Ag micropatterns are characterized by optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy
(AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), surface profilometry, and resistivity measurements. The line
width of Ag micropatterns can be effectively controlled by altering the experimental parameters of laser direct writing especially
laser intensity, objective lens, and laser beam scanning speed etc. Using an objective lens of 100× and laser intensity of
170.50 kW/cm2, Ag micropatterns with a line width of about 6 μm have been achieved. The Ag micropatterns show strong adhesion to polyimide
surface as evaluated by Scotch-tape test. The resistivity of the Ag micropatterns is determined to be 4.1 × 10−6 Ω cm using two-point probe method. This value is comparable with the resistivity of bulk Ag (1.6 × 10−6 Ω cm). |
