Overview
• Exploiting inkjet’s advantage – reactive inkjet printing
• Printing silk structures

Playing to strengths
• Inkjet Printing can add a variety of materials to the same layer
• A €100 office printer handles four types of ink!

A silver MOD ink generates NPs in-situ, giving 50 – 75 % bulk silver conductivityA normal nanoparticle ink gives conductivities of 10 - 40 %
Can we use the same energy for synthesis that we use for patterning?

A Great RIJ Example
8
Schematic of selective emitter solar cell structure fabricated using the direct
patterned etching method.
Direct patterned etching of silicon dioxide uses inkjet to deposit an inactive etching component onto a water soluble surface layer formed over the silicon dioxide. The inactive component reacts with the surface layer, where it contacts, to form an active etchant which etches the silicon dioxide under the surface layer to form a pattern ofopenings. The method involves fewer steps, lower chemical usage and generates less hazardous chemical waste.

What can we do with an inkjet printer?
12 November, 2017 [email protected] 9
• We can tailor droplet size
• We can position the droplet anywhere we like on the substrate
• We can print up to four inks– Either side by side or on top of each other
• We can control the evaporation rate– By using solvent ratios, and varying inter-droplet drying
time
