Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with about 40 nm diameter covered with 5–8 nm organic shell were prepared by chemical reduction reaction. The thermal characteristics of Ag nanoparticle (NP) paste were measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The low-temperature sintering bonding processes using Ag NP paste were carried out at the temperature range of 150–350°C for 5 min under the pressure of 3 MPa. The microstructures of the sintered joint and the fracture morphology were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The shear strength was used to evaluate the mechanical property of the sintered joint. TGA-DSC test showed that the Ag content is approximately 95.5 mass% in Ag NP paste. The average shear strength of the joint fabricated at 250°C for 5 min under the pressure of 3 MPa was about 28 MPa, which could meet the requirements of electronics packaging working at high temperature. The joint shear strength increased with the increase of the sintering temperature due to much denser sintered Ag NPs and more comprehensive metallurgical bonds formed in the joint.

Traditional thick film technology is widely used in various electronics products. There are two type of paste based on thick film technology. Typically, over 400°C is required for high temperature sintering type which contains glass for adhesion function. It shows high electrical and thermal performance. On the other hand, 150–300°C range process is used for low temperature process type as silver epoxy. In last decade, nano silver technology shows amazing progress to address low temperature operation by low temperature sintering. This paper will discuss the results on fundamental study of newly developed nano silver pastes with unique approach which uses MO (Metallo-organic) technology and resin reinforcing technology. Nano silver pastes contain several types of dispersant as surface coating to prevent agglomeration of the particles. Various coating technique has been reported to optimize sintering performance and stability. MO technology provides low temperature sintering capability by minimizing the coating material. The nano silver pastes show high electrical and thermal performance. However, degradation of die shear strength has been found by thermal cycling test due to the fragility of porous sintered structure. To improve the mechanical property, resin reinforcing technology has been developed. By adding special resin to the pastes, the porous area is filled with the resin and the sintered structure is reinforced. Degradation of die shear strength was not found by thermal cycling test to 1000 cycles. Nano silver pastes using MO technology and resin reinforcing technology will meet lots of requirement on various thick film applications.

A novel bonding process using Ag2O paste composed of Ag2O particles and a reducing agent has been proposed as a Pb-free alternative of high melting point solders in electronics packaging. Ag2O paste formed Ag nanoparticles through the redox reaction in the bonding process and in-situ formed Ag nanoparticles sintered immediately. While the bonding process using Ag metallo-organic nanoparticles, which have been proposed, was unfavorable to the bonding at 250 degree Celsius or lower in terms of requiring removal of stable organic shells, the bonding process using Ag2O paste demonstrated the possibility of further low-temperature bonding.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were prepared by wet synthesis. The Ag-NPs suspension and the copper substrate plate were used for a preparation of substrate-nanoparticle-substrate samples. The sandwich like samples Cu/Ag/Cu were prepared and investigated in-situ at the isothermal external conditions (IEC) and inside apparatus for simultaneous thermal analysis STA409 (DSC). The in-situ results of the electrical resistance were recorded during the Cu/Ag/Cu (IEC) sample preparation and heat treatment. Thermal effects of the Ag-NPs sintering between copper substrates were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under different atmospheres. The prepared Cu/Ag/Cu sandwich samples were characterised by means of both optical and electron microscopy. The process of the low temperature sintering inside calorimeter of the Ag-NPs was monitored using both thermogravimetry (TG) and DSC technique under inert gas and under synthetic air. The exothermic heat effect of nanosilver sintering was evaluated.

Nanocomposite inks composed of nickel–silver core–shell and silver nanoparticles (NPs) can combine the advantages of lower cost, high conductivity, and low-temperature sintering processes, which have attracted much attention in the development of materials for printed flexible electronics. In this context, in the present paper, we report the process of preparation of nanocomposite ink containing nickel–silver core–shell nanoparticles, as the main filler, and silver nanoparticles, as doping material, and their application for the fabrication of conductive coatings. It was found that the addition of a low concentration of Ag NPs to ink formulation based mainly on low-cost Ni-Ag NPs improves the conductive properties of coatings fabricated by ink deposition on a glass substrate. Two types of prepared nanocomposite ink coatings showed promising properties for future application: (1) doped with 0.5% of Ag NPs sintered at 200 °C as low cost for larger industrial application and, (2) containing 1% of Ag NPs sintered at 150 °C for the fabrication of conductive printed patterns on flexible substrates. The conductivity of such nanocomposite films was similar, about of 6 × 106 S/m, which corresponds to 35% of that for a bulk nickel.
