Abstract

The present invention provides an improved printed conductive circuit and a method for making the same. Specifically there is provided a method of producing printed conductive circuits and antennae through the screen printing of conductive inks. Layers of conductive inks are printed onto a base substrate. A layer of dielectric ink may optionally be printed between the layers of conductive inks which serves to substantially separate them. The layers of conductive inks remain in contact to maintain conductivity. The number and design of each ink layer are optionally varied depending on the required application and electrical resistance of the product. Such a method has significant advantages in using fewer steps and produces circuits which have desired levels of resistivity.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
1"Low Conductive Ink Composition" 2 3 The present invention provides an improved printed 4 conductive circuit and a method for making the same.
5 More specifically there is provided a method of 6 producing printed conductive circuits and antennae, 7 through the screen printing of conductive inks.
8 9 The field of the invention is those areas in which 10 the low electrical resistance of a circuit and/or 11 antenna is vital to its functionality and where low 12 production costs are important. Products where these 13 factors are relevant are inter alia ; membrane 14 switches, electroluminescent lamps, medical 15 diagnostic sensors, RFID and RF tags, smart cards, 16 satellite navigation and GPS systems, proximity 17 sensors, strain gauges and conductive ink 18 application to fabrics.
19 20 Traditional methods of circuit and/or antenna 21 manufacture are generally based around two 22 techniques, which are described below.
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
1 2 In the first technique, a copper clad substrate 3 (which could be polyester or polyamides or 4 fibreglass) is used on which is deposited an etch 5 resist medium, this being effected by a number of 6 processes.
7 8 The unwanted copper is then removed by an etching 9 process. The etch resistant medium is then removed 10 by means of a chemical stripping agent and the 11 finished circuit is subjected to further processes 12 such as the printing of dielectric inks, lamination 13 or die cutting.
14 15 The second method uses a substrate (such as 16 polyester or polycarbonate) onto which a silver or 17 carbon, or a silver/carbon mixture loaded medium 18 (termed"conductive ink") is screen-printed. This 19 is then dried or cured and the finished circuit 20 subjected to further processes as detailed above, 21 such as the printing of dielectric inks, lamination 22 or die cutting.
23 24 The decision on which of the above detailed 25 processes is used is dependent on the level of 26 resistivity required. For low resistivity 27 requirements, copper gives the best results, but 28 this has the associated disadvantage that it is 29 expensive to buy in a laminated form and requires 30 more processing to achieve the circuit and/or 31 antenna layout.
32
<Desc/Clms Page number 3>
1 Screen printing of conductive ink is an economical 2 option, but inks of this type cannot achieve the low 3 levels of resistivity of copper due to the 4 microscopic separation of the silver/carbon 5 particles in the print medium. A resistance of 1. 0 6 ohms per sq mm on average is normally achievable.
7 8 There are therefore particular problems with the 9 methods of circuit and antenna manufacture as 10 described above. The copper clad etched technology 11 described is expensive to produce as it uses an 12 expensive substrate and there are a number of 13 processes involved. Producing circuits in this way 14 further results in the production of by-products 15 which can be detrimental to the environment.
16 17 Turning to the screen printing method described, 18 although the printed conductive inks are more cost 19 effective and less environmentally detrimental than 20 the contributory components of the copper clad 21 etched technology, these inks can only be used for a 22 limited number of applications where a higher level 23 of electrical resistance is acceptable.

11 12 The present invention has the further advantage that 13 it will reduce the overall cost of producing printed 14 conductive circuits and antennae. There are further 15 environmental benefits derived from the use of the 16 current products and methods of production, 17 especially over products currently derived by means 18 of using copper clad etched technology.
19 20 The present invention will now be described, by way 21 of example only with reference to the accompanying 22 drawings in which; 23 24 Figure 1 shows a plan view of a circuit 25 illustrating the relationship of an insulating layer 26 and a dielectric layer, 27 28 Figure 2 shows a side elevation showing the 29 relationship of the conductive ink layers and 30 dielectric ink layers applied to a base substrate, 31 and 32
<Desc/Clms Page number 10>
1 Figure 3 shows a side elevation of a plurality 2 of conductive ink layers applied to a base 3 substrate.
4 5 An example of a printed circuit according to the 6 present invention can be seen in figures 1 and 2.
7 From figure 1, an example of the layering 8 relationship between the conductive ink layer 1 and 9 the dielectric ink layer 2 can be seen.
10 11 The conductive ink 1 is preferably a composite of 12 silver powder or granules mixed in a polymer 13 material together with a solvent which is released 14 on drying or following exposure to a photo-initiator 15 that is activated when subject to the action of 16 ultra violet light at a certain wavelength.
17 18 The dielectric ink 2 is preferably a polymer that 19 acts as an insulator together with a solvent which 20 is released upon drying, or alternatively a photo- 21 initiator which is activated when exposed to ultra- 22 violet light.
23 24 In figure 2, the relationship of the printed ink 25 layers with the base substrate is illustrated.
26 27 The base substrate 3 is any material that will not 28 distort when heat and pressure is applied to it such 29 as polyester, polycarbonate, paper or glass.
30 31 As is depicted in'figure 2, an initial layer of 32 conductive ink la is printed onto the base substrate
<Desc/Clms Page number 11>
1 3. A dielectric layer 2 is then substantially 2 printed on top of the base conductive layer la. A 3 further layer of conductive ink 1b is then applied 4 substantially on top of the dielectric layer 2.
5 Although substantially separated from the initial 6 layer of conductive ink la by the dielectric layer 7 2, this further layer of conductive ink 1b makes 8 contact with the initial layer of the conductive ink 9 la at a point 4. Subsequent layering of dielectric 10 ink 2 and conductive ink 1 layers can be applied.
11 12 An optional dielectric encapsulating layer 5 may be 13 applied as the top layer. The application of this 14 layer will however be dependent on the application 15 to which the circuit is to be used for.
16 17 The various ink layers are applied by printing, and 18 in particular by screen-printing, although other 19 printing types such as lithographic or flexographic 20 may also be used.
21 22 The design of each layer, the area of the points of 23 join and the number of layers is dependent on the 24 particular application and electrical resistance 25 required of the product.
26 27 After drying or curing all ink layers the substrate 28 is subjected to both heat and compression 29 (pressure). The amount of heat and pressure applied 30 is dependent on the base substrate used, the 31 application and electrical resistance required of 32 the product.
<Desc/Clms Page number 12>
1 2 An alternative example of a printed circuit 3 according to the invention is illustrated in figure 4 3. In this example, there is successive layering of 5 conductive ink layers 1 on top of each other. An 6 optional dielectric encapsulating layer 5 may be 7 applied as the top layer, however the dielectric 8 layer does not lie between each layer of the 9 conductive ink layers. The application of the 10 dielectric layer will however be dependent on the 11 application to which the circuit is to be used for.
12 13 The most preferred material for use in the present 14 invention is 150 micron polyester and a 15 silver/polymer ink mix, printed in 3 layers with no 16 dielectric separation, subject to a pressure of 100 17 bar per sq cm, heated to 1850C with a dwell time of 18 105 seconds, a resistance in the region of 0.007 19 ohms per sq mm is achieved.
20 21 The conductive ink (which may be UV cured or 22 conventional solvent-based systems) is printed in 23 multiple similar layers to increase the area of the 24 circuitry and/or antenna. This has the effect of 25 reducing the resistivity without increasing the size 26 of the circuit and/or antenna.
27 28 In both of the examples detailed, each conductive 29 ink layer 1 layer is connected to the conductive ink 30 layer 1 above or beneath it. Other than on the 31 connecting points a dielectric insulating layer 2 is 32 printed that effects insulation between conductive
<Desc/Clms Page number 13>
1 layers. As shown in the example in figure 3 and as 2 detailed above, a further option is to print a 3 successive number of conductive ink layers which 4 have no dielectric insulating layer 2 printed 5 between each layer.
6 7 In all cases of circuit or antenna produced by this 8 invention, the finished printed product is subjected 9 to both a heat and compression process. This has 10 the effect of further reducing the resistivity 11 levels by forcing the particles contained within the 12 printed medium into closer proximity with one 13 another.
14 15 Although the invention has been particularly shown 16 and described with reference to the preferred 17 embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled 18 in the art that various changes in the form and 19 details may be made therein without departing from 20 the scope of the present invention.
