INK-JET PRINTING OF PASSIVE ELECTRICALCOMPONENTS

摘要

A process of fabricating a passive electrical component, such as a resistor, a capacitor, or an inductor, is provided. The process includes the step of ink-jet printing at least one electronic ink onto a substrate in a predetermined pattern. The step of ink-jet printing may include the steps of: a) selecting at least one electronic ink having at least one electrical characteristic when cured; b) determining a positional layout for a plurality of droplets of the at least one electronic ink such that, when the at least one electronic ink has been cured, the positional layout provides a desired response for the electrical component; c) printing each of the plurality of droplets of the at least one electronic ink onto the substrate according to the positional layout using an ink-jet printing process; and d) curing the at least one electronic ink.
