Study of Copper-Nickel Nanoparticle Resistive Ink Compatible with Printed Copper Films for Power Electronics Applications

This paper is focused on copper–nickel nanoparticle resistive inks compatible with thick printed copper (TPC) technology, which can be used for power substrate manufacturing instead of conventional metallization techniques. Two types of copper–nickel inks were prepared and deposited by Aerosol Jet t...
