STABILIZED METAL NANOPARTICLES AND METHODS FOR DEPOSITING CONDUCTIVE FEATURES USING STABILIZED METAL NANOPARTICLES

摘要

A metal nanoparticle composition includes a thermally decomposable or UV decomposable stabilizer. A method of forming conductive features on a substrate, includes providing a solution containing metal nanoparticles with a stabilizer; and liquid depositing the solution onto the substrate, wherein during the deposition or following the deposition of the solution onto the substrate, decomposing and removing the stabilizer, by thermal treatment or by UV treatment, at a temperature below about 180 .degree.C to form conductive features on the substrate.
