ACI Alchemy conductive inks are a series of highly conductive semi-sintering or hybrid formulations that offer a range of benefits for current users of silver-based polymer thick film (PTF) and nanoparticle-based inks, pastes, and coatings. These formulations combine the ease of handling and processing of PTF inks and coatings with the superior electrical performance of sintered nano inks.
Cost Savings on Materials
The low volume resistivity (high conductivity) of the materials and the ability to print thinner films enable lower-cost usage compared to traditional percolation-type conductors.
Higher Power/Current Density Applications
The ability to sinter at greater film thickness than nano inks allows for low resistivity and low sheet resistance films capable of carrying more current or power without overheating.
Superior Mechanical Performance (Flexibility and Crease)
The ability to print much thinner films with equivalent sheet resistance to PTF conductors allows for superior flexibility and resistance to hard creases.
Higher Resolution Printing
The small particle size of the formulations allows screen printing, microdispensing, jetting, and spraying of finer interconnects.
Faster Curing
The curing rate often limits the use of nanoinks, but these formulations cure at rates amenable to traditional screen-printing dryers.
Wettability by Solder Paste
Alchemy inks wet nicely by BiSn(Ag) low-temperature solder pastes, so on some substrates, reflow solder-based attach may be possible.
Environmental Stability
No change in temperature/humidity aging.
Cartridges must be kept refrigerated and have a shelf life of 12 months.
