Masterclass Title
Supercooled Metals As Low Processing Temperature Conductive Ink
Santa Clara Convention Center, CA, USA
Grand Ballroom F
09:00 - 09:20
Presentation Summary
SAFI-Tech's supercooled metal inks enable flexible electronics manufacturers to form interconnects or conductive traces without thermal damage. The technology consists of water-balloon-like microparticles of liquid metal solders in a metastable supercooled state. These particles can be mechanically broken or chemically triggered to release the liquid metal, which then rapidly solidifies.
Speaker Biography
Dr. Ian Tevis is the CTO and Co-founder of SAFI-Tech. He is Materials Chemist with a PhD from Northwestern University. Ian became very familiar with the challenges heat can give in electronics processing during his PhD thesis work on self-assembling small molecule based solar cells. Before starting SAFI-Tech, Ian was a research scientist at NanoIntegris Technologies working on process and product development of carbon nanotube inks. Ian has been working on supercooled liquid metal particle technology for two and a half years, first as a postdoc at Iowa State University and now as the CTO at SAFI-Tech.
Company Profile
SAFI-Tech's supercooled metal inks enable flexible electronics manufacturers to form interconnects or conductive traces without thermal damage. The technology consists of water-balloon-like microparticles of liquid metal solders in a metastable supercooled state. These particles can be mechanically broken or chemically triggered to release the liquid metal, which then rapidly solidifies. SAFI-Tech's vision is to provide supercooled metal technology to electronics manufacturers to solve issues caused by high temperature processes . SAFI-Tech was award the Technical Development Materials Award at the 2016 IDTechEx Show.
