Summary: In this study, femtosecond laser post-processing was used to improve the silver nanowire transparent electrodes by achieving welding between nanowires. This led to a significant reduction in sheet resistance and an improvement in the figure of merit of the electrodes. The energy density of the laser had an impact on the welding efficiency, with excessively high energy density causing nanowire melting. Additionally, laser irradiation had little effect on the transmittance of the electrodes, and the number of effective pulses did not significantly affect the welding efficiency of the nanowires.

Summary: In this study, researchers evaluate the suitability of two types of inks containing silver nanowires for the fabrication of cellulose-based silver nanowire electrodes. The results show that the ink containing cellulose nanofibrils has lower sheet resistance, lower surface roughness, shorter fabrication time, and better mechanical and long-term stability compared to the other type of ink. The mixed ink of silver nanowires and cellulose nanofibrils is found to be suitable for the fast fabrication of highly conductive organic nanoelectronics on an industrial scale.

Summary: The reliable bonding of thick Al wires and plated Au pad is crucial for power module packaging. Microscopic observation showed significant interdiffusion of Al, Au and Cu elements, leading to the formation of intermetallic compounds at the Al/Au/Cu joint interfaces after parallel gap micro-resistance welding. Liquid Al reacts with Au to form (Au, Cu) Al-2 IMC phase rapidly, while excessive Al atoms diffuse through the Cu-based solid solution and react with Cu to form (Cu, Au) Al-4 IMC phase within 20 ms.

Summary: Micro resistance bonding is a crucial method in the manufacturing of ever-miniaturized electronic components, but the bonding quality is often unstable due to limited understanding of interfacial phases. This study investigated the nano-scale interfacial details of micro resistance bonding Al wire to an Au/Cu pad using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The research found that metallurgical bonding joints were formed in the Al-Au-Cu system with sufficient interfacial reactions, resulting in the formation of various phases due to the rapid temperature rise and ultrafast cooling speed during the bonding process.
