Problems solved by technology

However, if gold nanoparticles are used, since the gold material itself is expensive, the unit cost for producing dispersions for ultrafine printing also becomes expensive, which becomes an economical bottleneck for widely used general-purpose products
On the other hand, if silver nanoparticles are used instead, the unit cost of producing the dispersion can be reduced a lot, but since the wiring width and the space between the wires are narrowed, another such serious problem arises, namely Electromigration onto the surface causing wire breaks

[0129] (reduction / baking in the presence of organic compounds contained in the coating)

[0130] First, an aqueous dispersion containing copper ultrafine particles was prepared by a wet reduction reaction. After 30 g of copper sulfate was dissolved in 100 ml of distilled water, 100 g of diethanolamine as a reducing agent was added to the aqueous solution which had been heated to 80°C. Subsequently, while continuing to stir, a wet reduction reaction was performed for 8 hours to obtain a brown aqueous dispersion containing the formed copper microparticles. Acetone was added to the dispersion to remove the diethanolamine and to precipitate copper particles. The cleaning operation with acetone was repeated three times to remove residual raw materials, reaction-induced by-products and impurities. The obtained copper fine particles partially had a surface oxide film layer (oxidized copper) on the surface, and had an average particle diameter of 9 nm.

Abstract

A method of forming a fine-shaped electrical conductor of the sintered product of fine copper particles, wherein a fine pattern is drawn by using a dispersion of copper particles having an oxide film on its surface, and then, at a relatively low temperature, on the surface of the resulting pattern The fine copper particles or the fine copper oxide particles having an oxide film layer are subjected to reduction treatment, and the resulting copper particles are then sintered. In one embodiment, a dispersion of fine copper particles or fine copper oxide particles having an oxide film layer on its surface (the particles have an average particle diameter of 10 μm or less) is coated on a substrate, and the resulting coating The fine particles in the layer are heated to a temperature of 350° C. or lower in an atmosphere containing a compound having reducing ability or gas, whereby the oxide film is reduced by reduction using the compound having reducing ability as a reducing agent, and then , performing a series of heating steps including repeated short-time oxidation treatment and re-reduction treatment combined with heating treatment, thereby forming a sintered product from the resulting copper particles. The finely formed electrical conductor of the sintered product of fine copper particles formed by the above method exhibits excellent electrical conductivity.
