A method for preparing an electroconductive patterned copper layer, comprising mixing copper-based particles with a reducing agent, and then adding a solvent thereto to prepare a reducing agent-containing copper-based particle dispersion solution; printing on or filling in the reducing agent-containing copper-based particle dispersion solution a substrate in a predetermined shape to form a reducing agent-containing copper-based particle patterned layer; and firing the reducing agent-containing copper-based particle patterned layer in the air, which allows forming a patterned copper layer with excellent electric conductivity even in the air, thereby being industrially very useful.

Preparation method for an electroconductive patterned copper layer

A preparation method of an electroconductive copper patterning layer includes (Step 1) preparing a dispersion solution of copper-based particles selected from the group consisting of copper particles, copper oxide particles, and their mixtures; (Step 2) forming a copper-based particle patterning layer by printing or filling the dispersion solution of copper-based particles to a substrate into a predetermined shape; and (Step 3) irradiating laser to the copper-based particle patterning layer to burn and interconnect the copper-based particles contained in the copper-based particle patterning layer. This preparation method burns a copper-based particle patterning layer with a strong energy within a short time by using laser. Thus, it is possible to obtain a copper patterning layer that is hardly oxidized even in the atmosphere, so a copper patterning layer with excellent electric conductivity is formed.
