Silver nanoparticle structures realized by digital surface micromachining

We report a new surface micromachining process using commercial silver nanoparticle inks and digital fabrication methods. This process is entirely digital (non-lithographic patterning), the feature sizes can be <20 mum, and the maximum temperature is less than 250degC. Furthermore, we have comple...

description We report a new surface micromachining process using commercial silver nanoparticle inks and digital fabrication methods. This process is entirely digital (non-lithographic patterning), the feature sizes can be <20 mum, and the maximum temperature is less than 250degC. Furthermore, we have completed materials property characterization in order to enable design in this process. As a demonstration, silver cantilevers were fabricated using this process and subsequently characterized to determine the silver film's mechanical properties.
