Abstract

SiO2 thin film has a wide range of applications, including insulation layers in microelectronic devices, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, due to its advantageous characteristics. Herein, we developed a new eco-friendly method for manufacturing SiO2 nanoparticles and, thereby, SiO2 paste to be used in the digital printing process for the fabrication of SiO2 film. By excluding harmful Cl- and NO3- elements from the SiO2 nanoparticle synthetic process, we were able to lower the heat treatment temperature for the SiO 2 precursor from 600 to 300 °C and the diameter of the final SiO2 nanoparticles to about 14 nm. The synthesized SiO2 nanoparticles were dispersed in an organic solvent with additives to make a SiO2 paste for feasibility testing. The SiO2 paste was printed onto a glass substrate to test the feasibility of using it for digital printing. The insulation resistance of the printed film was high enough for it to be used as an insulation layer for passivation.
