Magnetic field for sintering conductive material with nanoparticles

Abstract

Conductive particle sintering systems including a conveyor for conveying a low-temperature substrate with a conductive ink having metallic nanomaterial on the substrate, the conveyor for conveying the substrate along a first direction; and at least one source of alternating magnetic field configured to provide sufficient energy to the conductive ink to cause the nanomaterial in the ink to be sintered; such that the at least one source of magnetic field is positioned above and/or below the substrate and oriented in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. Also disclosed are methods using such sintering systems.
