In this study, a silver(Ag) coated copper(Cu) core-shell microparticles ink were fabricated and screen-printed on Polyimide(PI) substrates. It was sintered via flash light sintering technique. Flash light irradiation condition (i.e. pulse duration, irradiation energy) was optimized to obtain high conductivity and good oxidation resistance characteristics of Ag coated Cu core-shell pattern. To increase the packing density of the electrodes and its oxdiation resistance, Ag nanoparticles(NPs) were added to Cu/Ag core-shell microparticles (MP) ink. To determine optimal amount of the Ag NPs, the hybrid ink having different mass ratios of the Ag NPs and Cu/Ag core-shell MP were fabricated and tested. The sheet resistance of the hybrid ink was measured using the four-point probe method. To analyze the sintering behavior and degree of oxidation of hybrid pattern, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used. To demonstrate the mechanism of the sintering process on hybrid ink, multiphysics COMSOL simulation and temperature monitoting was conducted. As a result, hybrid pattern sintered with flash light showed excellent oxidation resistance (resistance increase rate in 300℃ for 5 hours: 54.34 %), and high electrical conductivity (9 μΩ·cm).
