Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
The present disclosure provides a flexible wire, a method for manufacturing a flexible electronic device, and a flexible electronic device, wherein the flexible wire has a greater ductility while ensuring normal operation of a circuit.
The flexible wire has two applications: first, it is used as a connecting wire in a line for connecting functional components such as LED, capacitor, etc.; second, for forming functional elements in electronic devices, such as in temperature sensors or strain sensors, temperature changes or strain changes are monitored by measuring changes in the resistance of flexible wires.
The flexible wire may be a two-dimensional flexible wire having a planar structure as shown in fig. 1 and 2 or a three-dimensional flexible wire having a three-dimensional structure as shown in fig. 3.
When the two-dimensional flexible lead is prepared, the preparation method comprises a preparation step and a preparation step.
In the preparation step, a base material is provided, and the base material is formed by combining the rigid substrate, the sacrificial layer and the functional film.
In the preparation steps:
cutting the functional film of the substrate by femtosecond laser to realize wire patterning so that the functional film is formed with a planar wire structure;
removing the sacrificial layer, thereby separating the planar conductor structure from the rigid substrate;
the planar wire structure is formed as a two-dimensional flexible wire.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the planar wire structure of the two-dimensional flexible wire may have a fixed region and a non-fixed region. The fixed area may be fixed to the flexible substrate by means of pasting, such that the fixed area is formed as the pasting area 10 and the non-fixed area is formed as the non-pasting area 30. When the two-dimensional flexible wire is used in an application requiring stretch deformation, the non-bonded region 30 is deformed to form a flexible wire having large ductility. Two-dimensional flexible wires may be connected to the functional components on the flexible substrate to form a flexible electronic device.
It should be understood that the pasting mode is a specific implementation mode of fixing the two-dimensional flexible lead and the flexible substrate, and other modes can also be adopted for fixing.
When stretched, the flexible substrate with the two-dimensional flexible wires deforms, such that the two-dimensional flexible wires can form a line on the deformable object, such as can be used in a wearable device to form a line on human skin.
Of course, the planar conductor structure can also be connected directly to the functional component after separation from the rigid substrate to form a flexible electronic device.
Fig. 1 and 2 show a planar lead structure of two-dimensional flexible leads of different types, respectively, and in the case where the length of the lead needs to be extended, the paste areas 10 of a plurality of planar lead structures may be connected to form a two-dimensional flexible lead having a plurality of connected planar lead structures.
When the three-dimensional flexible lead is prepared, the preparation method comprises a preparation step and a preparation step.
In the preparation step, a sacrificial layer is prepared on a rigid substrate, and a functional thin film for forming a three-dimensional flexible wire and bonded to the rigid substrate through the sacrificial layer is prepared on the sacrificial layer.
In the preparation steps:
cutting the functional film by femtosecond laser to realize wire patterning so that the functional film forms a planar wire structure;
removing the sacrificial layer, thereby separating the planar conductor structure from the rigid substrate;
the planar wire structure is assembled to the pre-stretched flexible substrate;
and releasing the prestrain of the flexible substrate, and buckling and assembling the planar lead structure into a three-dimensional flexible lead.
As shown in fig. 5, the planar wire structure of the three-dimensional flexible wire may have a fixing region and a buckling deformation region 20, and the fixing region may be fixed to the flexible substrate by means of pasting, so that the fixing region is formed as a pasting region 10. The buckling deformation region 20 is capable of buckling deformation and mechanically assembled into a three-dimensional structure. When the three-dimensional flexible wire is used in a situation where tensile deformation is required, the three-dimensional structure formed by the buckling deformation region 20 is deformed to form a flexible wire of large ductility. Three-dimensional flexible wires may be connected to functional components on a flexible substrate to form a flexible electronic device.
It should be understood that the pasting mode is a specific implementation mode of fixing the planar conductor structure of the three-dimensional flexible conductor and the flexible substrate, and other modes can also be adopted for fixing.
Fig. 3 shows an array of three-dimensional flexible wires, adjacent wire segments in the array (one wire segment being mechanically assembled by a planar wire structure) being connected by a mutual adhesive area 10, several wire segments being connected to form the array. Where more arrays are desired, multiple arrays of adhesive regions 10 may also be connected to form a three-dimensional flexible conductor having multiple arrays connected together. Of course, the three-dimensional flexible wires may be connected in a straight line shape or a serpentine shape, instead of forming a zigzag array. Then, where it is desired to extend the length of the conductor, the attachment areas 10 of the plurality of conductor segments are connected to form a three-dimensional flexible conductor having a plurality of successive conductor segments.
The length of the wire can be adjusted by connecting the adhesive areas 10 of different wire sections, regardless of the shape of the two-dimensional flexible wire and the three-dimensional flexible wire.
The adhesive area 10 can be used both for attachment to a flexible substrate and as a tab for extending the length of a wire.
In the preparation step, the buckling deformation region 20 mechanically buckles when the pre-strain of the flexible substrate is released, so that the planar conductor structure self-assembles into a three-dimensional flexible conductor. Furthermore, the three-dimensional flexible lead is connected with the functional assembly on the flexible substrate to form the flexible electronic device.
The three-dimensional flexible wires formed on the flexible substrate can also form a line on a deformable object, for example, can be used in a wearable device to form a line on human skin.
In the preparation step, the rigid substrate may also be cleaved into several secondary parts and the secondary parts are attached to a uniform specification of glass pieces. In the preparation step, the glass piece with the secondary part of the rigid substrate is clamped with a gripper, so that the individual secondary parts are patterned on the glass piece.
Therefore, the material of the rigid substrate is saved, and the cost for manufacturing the flexible lead is reduced.
In addition, in the preparation step, a planar lead structure of a two-dimensional flexible lead or a three-dimensional flexible lead can be designed and optimized (optimized by finite element simulation), that is, elastic deformation of the flexible lead formed by the planar lead structure in stretching deformation is calculated by simulation software, whether the elastic deformation is in a preset elastic deformation range is judged, if so, processing information (such as shape and size) of the planar lead structure is input into femtosecond laser equipment, if not, the planar lead structure is optimized, and after the optimization is finished, whether the elastic deformation of the flexible lead is in the preset elastic deformation range is judged again; after iterative optimization, when the elastic deformation of the flexible lead is in a preset elastic deformation range, the processing information (such as shape and size) of the optimized planar lead structure is input into a femtosecond laser device.
In this way, when the wire patterning is performed using the femtosecond laser, the planar wire structure cut by the femtosecond laser can form a two-dimensional flexible wire or a three-dimensional flexible wire having a large ductility. For example, a serpentine two-dimensional flexible wire as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and a profiled serpentine two-dimensional flexible wire, such as a helical three-dimensional flexible wire as shown in FIG. 3
It should be understood that the split serpentine shape has side-by-side serpentine shapes connected together.
The femtosecond laser device can adopt industrial grade femtosecond laser device.
The power and the speed of the femtosecond laser can be set according to the thickness of the functional film, so that the resolution of the planar wire structure is improved, and the processing quality is improved.
The preparation method of the flexible lead and the flexible electronic device provided by the disclosure has the following beneficial effects:
the method can prepare the flexible lead with high precision and large scale without being limited by patterns, has the unique advantages of rapidness, environmental protection, low price, high resource utilization rate and insensitivity to external environment, and is suitable for preparing various types of two-dimensional flexible leads and three-dimensional flexible leads.
In the preparation step, a sacrificial layer may be formed on the rigid substrate by spin coating a paste on the rigid substrate, and the paste may be dissolved by a solvent. For example, the sacrificial layer may be formed of polymethyl methacrylate, and the solvent may be formed of one or more of acetone, ethanol, dichloromethane, and anisole.
The solvent is capable of dissolving the glue, thereby separating the planar wire structure formed on the functional film from the rigid substrate.
Of course, the sacrificial layer may also be removed by a robot segment or the like.
The flexible substrate and the planar conductor structure may also be surface treated prior to assembling the planar conductor structure to the flexible substrate.
The flexible substrate has a predetermined area for assembling the planar wire structure, which may be subjected to one or more of the following treatments to render the predetermined area adhesive for adhering to the planar wire structure:
plasma treatment, ozone surface irradiation, and surfactant treatment.
The planar wire structure may have a paste area 10 pasted with a predetermined area of the flexible substrate, and silicon dioxide may be deposited on the paste area 10 by the following process:
and placing the planar conducting wire structure in a magnetron sputtering cavity to sputter silicon dioxide.
Before the surface treatment of the planar wire structure, a mask may be coated on the planar wire structure, and the mask covers the buckling deformation region 20 of the planar wire structure of the three-dimensional flexible wire or the non-adhesive region 30 of the planar wire structure of the two-dimensional flexible wire, so that the silicon dioxide can be more conveniently deposited on the adhesive region 10.
The mask plate related to the present disclosure is prepared by laser engraving, and the material can be common commercial Polyimide (PI) film.
After finishing the surface treatment of the flexible substrate and the planar wire structure, the planar wire structure is adhered to the flexible substrate, and then an assembly formed by the planar wire structure and the flexible substrate is placed in an oven to be heated, so that the planar wire structure and the flexible substrate are bonded (a specific implementation mode that the planar wire structure and the flexible substrate are fixed), a stable covalent bond connection is formed between the planar wire structure and the flexible substrate, and the planar substrate is firmly assembled to the flexible substrate.
The functional film forming a flexible wire provided by the present disclosure may have: the buffer layer is combined with the functional layer. The functional film and the sacrificial layer can be provided with a first protective layer, and the functional film is combined with the first protective layer through the buffer layer.
The first protection layer can be formed on the surface of the sacrificial layer by a spin coating method, and the buffer layer can be formed on the surface of the first protection layer by an evaporation method. The buffer layer and the functional layer may be formed by electron beam evaporation or magnetron sputtering.
The first protective layer may be formed of Polyimide (PI), the buffer layer may be formed of chromium (Cr), and the functional layer may be formed of gold (Au).
Therefore, the functional layer is used for conducting current, and the buffer layer plays a role in buffer transition, so that gold is not easy to fall off. The first protective layer is arranged on one side of the functional layer and plays a role in supporting and protecting, and the first protective layer and the second protective layer enable the gold functional layer to be located at a neutral axis position, so that strain borne by the gold functional layer when the structure is stretched is remarkably reduced.
The first protective layer is positioned on one side of the functional film, the other side of the functional film is also provided with a second protective layer, and the functional film is combined with the second protective layer through the functional layer.
The second protective layer may be formed on the surface of the functional layer by spin coating.
The second protective layer may be formed using Polyimide (PI).
Thus, the protective layers are respectively arranged on the two sides of the functional layer, so that the functional layer can be better prevented from generating plasticity.
In the step of assembling the planar wiring structure to the flexible substrate, a transfer technique may be applied, in which one surface of the planar wiring structure is bonded to a stamp, the above-mentioned surface treatment is performed on the other surface of the planar wiring structure, and then the surface-treated planar wiring structure is transferred to the flexible substrate by the stamp to attach the attachment area 10 of the planar wiring structure to the flexible substrate. The stamp includes, but is not limited to, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).
The planar wire structure can be freely transferred to various types of substrates by a transfer printing technology, and the difficulty of directly preparing the planar wire structure on an unconventional substrate can be effectively avoided.
In the case of pre-stretching the flexible substrate, one or more of a biaxial stretcher, a six-axis stretcher and an eight-axis stretcher may be applied.
In the present disclosure, the flexible substrate may be made of one or more materials such as Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), Ecoflex, DragonSkin, etc.
In the present disclosure, the rigid substrate may be formed using a silicon wafer or a glass sheet.
In the present disclosure, the preparation method of the sacrificial layer includes, but is not limited to, coating, spin coating and then curing.
