Fabrication of copper electric circuits on flexible films by screen printing the copper nanopastes. (a) Copper electrodes on a PI film with bending. (b) Copper electrodes on a PEN film. (c) An optical microscopic image of the copper electric circuits prepared by screen printing on a PI film using a fine pattern screen mask (L/S: 40/40 (μm/μm)). (d) A 3D image of the copper electric circuits shown in (c). (e) A depth profile of the copper electric circuits. The height of the circuits was approximately 8 μm. The printed copper nanopastes on the films were pressureless sintered at 200 °C under a N2 atmosphere for 30 min.
