Abstract

The 2D and 3D laser direct writing using Cu nanoparticle ink were studied using a compact blue-violet semiconductor laser. The laser direct writing based on a motion controller and G-code language program on PC enabled to prepare various kinds of shaped Cu grids which can be easily designed on-demand. A Cu grid pattern was prepared on a flexible and transparent polymer substrate and applied to a stress sensor. A star-shaped grid was fabricated a polymer substrate and the performance as a stress sensor for detecting the motion of human hand devises was demonstrated toward wearable electronics. In the preliminary 3D study, we have employed the layer-by-layer formation of a 3D structure, where cycle of the spin-coating of a metal nanoparticle ink and the laser direct writing were repeated. The 3D microstructures prepared by the 3D laser direct writing using Ag and Cu nanoparticle inks suggested the possibility of a 3D interconnection.
