SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEPOSITING MATERIAL ON A PIEZOELECTRIC ARRAY

摘要

A system (10) having a print head (13) for depositing material on a piezoelectric array (20), where the print head (13) and the array (20) are moveable with respect to each other, and a computer (11) for controlling movement of print head (13) and array (20) with respect to each other along array (20), and controlling print head (13) to dispense the material onto array (20). Print head (13) can deposit a pre-determined amount of material in one of dots, or in a line with movement of print head (13) and array (20) with respect to each other. System (10) enables conductive material (200) to be deposited to make electrical connections to array elements (100). A non-conductive polymer material (400) may be deposited on array (20) before depositing conductive material (200) to create barriers avoiding unintended connection of array elements (100) by the conductive material. System (10) may also be used for fabricating a piezoelectric array (20a) by depositing electro-ceramic material (105).
