Abstract
Abstract:
Rapid prototyping is possible in computer controlled ink jet printing of hybrid circuits. Other advantages of this kind of printing are also analyzed. Development of the ink jet printer is discussed. This printing is feasible for printing well defined conductor lines. Spray control parameters of the printer are analytically expressed. A block diagram of the ink jet printing system is included. Photographs show line formation. Graphs show the effect of substrate speed and frequency on line widths and thickness of silver films.
