Bridging arrangement and method for manufacturing a bridging arrangement

摘要

A bridging arrangement for coupling a first terminal to a second terminal includes a plurality of particles of a first type forming at least one path between the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein the particles of the first type are attached to each other; a plurality of particles of a second type arranged in a vicinity of a contact region between a first particle of the first type and a second particle of the first type, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of particles of the second type is attached to the first particle of the first type and the second particle of the first type.

1. A method for manufacturing a bridging arrangement between a first terminal and a second terminal, the method comprising:
providing at least one path of particles of a first type between the first terminal and the second terminal, the particles of the first type comprising microparticles having a diameter on a micrometer scale; applying a suspension comprising a carrier fluid and a plurality of particles of a second type in a region between the first and the second terminal; and removing the carrier fluid such that a plurality of particles of the second type arrange in a vicinity of a contact region between a first particle of the first type and a second particle of the first type, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of particles of the second type is attached to the first particle of the first type and the second particle of the first type; wherein the particles of the second type comprise nanoparticles having a diameter on a nanometer scale such that the diameter of the particles of the first type is about 100 times or more greater than the diameter of the particles of the second type, and wherein at least a portion of the plurality of particles of the second type is attached to the first particle of the first type and the second particle of the first type, so as to form a ring-shaped neck, the ring-shaped neck configured to mechanically stabilize at least one percolation path between a surface of the first particle of the first type and a surface of the second particle of the first type.
