How Aerosol Jet Works for Fine Circuit Creation

摘要

AEROSOL JET TECHNOLOGY is a fine-feature material deposition solution used to directly print functional electronic circuitry and components onto low-temperature, non-planar substrates. Aerosol Jet printing functions on the principle of generating a mist through atomization of a nanopar-ticle colloid solution. Nanoparticle materials liquids, or inks as they are generally called, are made up of nanoparticle solids, solvents and organic binders and even some polymer resins, which are included to make the ink perform on different substrates. These inks must have a certain viscosity and particle sizing in order be printed with aerosol jet. That viscosity is generally less than 500 centipoise (cP), and the particle size must be under 100nm.
