Method for forming redistribution layer using photo-sintering
The present invention relates to a method for formation of a redistribution layer using photo-sintering and to the redistribution layer formed by the method. The method for forming a redistribution layer using photo-sintering includes printing, on a substrate, a liquid electrode pattern for a redistribution layer; coating a transparent polymer on the substrate and the pattern; photo-sintering the electrode pattern using photonic energy; and evaporating an organic substance contained in the liquid electrode pattern via the photo-sintering to remove the polymer on a top face of the electrode pattern to form a redistribution layer as the sintered electrode pattern.
1. A method for forming a redistribution layer using photo-sintering, the method comprising:
1) printing, on a substrate, a liquid electrode pattern for a redistribution layer;
2) coating a transparent polymer on the substrate and the pattern;
3) photo-sintering the electrode pattern using photonic energy; and
4) evaporating an organic substance contained in the liquid electrode pattern via the photo-sintering to remove the polymer on a top face of the electrode pattern to form a redistribution layer as the sintered electrode pattern.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid electrode pattern contains metal or non-metal particles.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the liquid electrode pattern further contains a binder, a dispersant and a solvent.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises, after the printing of the liquid electrode pattern, drying the liquid electrode pattern.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the photo-sintering includes evaporating the organic substance to create a pressure in the pattern to swell the electrode pattern and creating pores in the pattern.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises forming a stack of a plurality of redistribution layers by repeatedly performing the steps 1) to 4).
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer includes a thermosetting resin or a thermoplastic resin.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the polymer includes polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) resin to define a dielectric layer, wherein the photo-sintering includes patterning the dielectric layer.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the PDMS resin is spin-coated on the substrate and the pattern at a speed of 6000 rpm or lower.
