Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a micro conductive pattern using metal nano ink for laser patterning,

The present invention relates to a metal ink for a laser patterning process capable of producing fine nano-sized particles whose surface oxide film formation is controlled and a method for producing a metal conductive fine pattern using the same.

The present invention also relates to a method for producing a metal conductive fine pattern having excellent conductivity.

The present invention also relates to a highly conductive metal nano ink composition for laser patterning which improves the adhesion of the metal nanoparticles on a substrate and does not affect the physical properties of the conductive metal nanoparticles, and a metal conductive fine pattern produced therefrom.

The development of metallic nano ink for laser patterns containing metal nanoparticles can be carried out by a single printing process such as screen printing, inkjet printing, gravure offset printing and reverse offset printing, without using a complicated process of photolithography It is advantageous in that the process can be simplified by printing on various substrates through the process. In addition, the manufacturing cost can be drastically reduced due to the simplification of the process, and the wiring width can be miniaturized, making it possible to manufacture a highly integrated and highly efficient printed circuit.

As a method of manufacturing metal nanoparticles for laser patterning by a conventional physical method, it is practically impossible to make nano-sized metal particles having oxidation stability. As a polar solvent, for example, it is dispersed in deionized water or the like, It is more difficult to provide a dispersion of the metal nano-particles.

These metal nanoparticles are generally synthesized by a wet reduction method, and the surface oxide film is easily formed on the metal particles during the synthesis, resulting in deterioration of the conductivity in terms of conductivity.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-0018196 (Patent Document 1) discloses a method for preparing metal nanoparticles having oxidative stability against a conventional polar solvent, wherein metal ions are reacted with a reducing agent in the presence of a surfactant solution and an antioxidant And a wet reduction method for producing metal nanoparticles by reducing metal ions has been disclosed. In this method, a small nano-sized reactor is prepared by using a surfactant, and the particle size is controlled by a reduction reaction using a reducing agent. The particle size is easily controlled and stable. However, There is a problem that resistance is increased when wiring and metal film are formed due to the surfactant and antioxidant used to ensure dispersion stability.

There is still room for improvement of the disadvantage that the metal oxide is formed on the surface of the produced nanoparticles and the conductivity of the metal is damaged.

Further, when the resulting nanoparticles are firmly adhered to the substrate, the use of a binder in the formation of the wiring and the metal film may increase resistance and insufficient conductivity.

Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-0018196

In the step a), the hydrazine-based reducing agent may be one or two or more selected from hydrazine, hydrazine anhydride, hydrazine hydrochloride, hydrazine sulfate, hydrazine hydrate and phenylhydrazine. In addition, other hydrides; Borohydride systems including tetrabutylammonium borohydride, tetramethylammonium borohydride, tetraethylammonium borohydride, and sodium borohydride; Sodium phosphate system; And ascorbic acid; One or more of them can be selected and used. Among them, the hydrazine-based reducing agent is most preferable because of its strong reducing power.

In the step a), the metal nanoparticle synthesis step for laser patterning is not limited but is performed at a temperature of 100 to 350 ° C, more preferably 140 to 300 ° C, and more preferably 150 to 250 ° C, in consideration of reduction efficiency Is suitable.

Also, the hydrazine-based reducing agent is generally better because it has a better reducing power compared to other reducing agents due to its excellent reducing power.

In the synthesis of the metal nanoparticles of step a), the composition ratio of the first solution will be described in detail. The composition ratio is not particularly limited, but when considering the capping efficiency of the metal nanoparticles, the acid is 0.2 to 4 moles, the amine is 0.2 or more, preferably 0.2 to 50, more preferably 5 to 20 moles per mole of the metal precursor ≪ / RTI >

The reducing agent may include a reducing agent / metal precursor molar ratio of 1 to 100. If the molar ratio is less than 1, metal ions of the metal precursor are not completely reduced. If the molar ratio is more than 100, excess metal ions may not be added to the metal precursor and the reduction rate may not be affected.

The metal nanoparticles containing the metal nanoparticles may be obtained only by separation methods such as washing and recovery using a centrifugal separation method.

The metal conductive ink according to the present invention is a simple and simple process in which a metal precursor, an organic acid compound, an organic amine compound and a reducing agent are added at once to perform a reaction. The metal conductive ink is generated by capping the metal oxide nanoparticles or capping only organic acids with metal nanoparticles It is possible to synthesize metal nanoparticles for laser patterning process in which the surface oxide film is completely controlled by a technique for suppressing the generation of an oxide film.

At this time, the reducing agent may be partially added in advance in the synthesis of the metal nanoparticles according to the present invention to promote the reduction of the metal ion of the metal precursor. In this case, especially, the hydrazine-based reducing agent is present in the solution before the reaction to remove the oxygen which causes the oxidation of the metal nanoparticles, thereby further suppressing the formation of the surface oxide film.

Further, the present invention can achieve an unexpected effect of increasing conductivity when heating in an incombustible atmosphere in the step a) of producing metal nanoparticles. In the case of providing the metal nanoparticles in the inert atmosphere in this manner, the metal oxide film is already suppressed to such an extent that the metal oxide film can not be detected in the oxygen atmosphere using the constitution of the present invention, but even the fine generation of the metal oxide film is controlled, .
