Abstract

Summary: A drop‐on‐demand ink‐jet printer has been used to print a silver‐organic solution onto glass substrates. Conductive silver tracks were obtained by heat treatment of the ink‐jet printed deposits at temperatures ranging from 125 °C–200 °C in air. Resistivity values were found to have dropped to two to three times the theoretical resisitivity of bulk silver after temperatures of 150 °C and above were used.
