| Abstract Scope |
Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP), a direct write form of additive manufacturing, enables versatile and high-resolution fabrication of printed electronics. Inductors, one of the types of passive electrical components, are used in printed transformers, wireless charging, torque sensors, and electromagnets, etc. AJP can deposit conductive lines with a width of 10–50 microns. For spiral inductor fabrication, the smoothness of the spiral arc determines the smallest pitch. With commonly used X-Y linear stages, the smoothness of arc is limited by the resolution of the motor and the tuning of motion parameters (speed, acceleration, etc.). This work will demonstrate high resolution AJP of silver inductors using a polar system consisting of rotary and linear stages. A comparison of spirals printed using cartesian and polar systems will be made by microscopy and profilometry. SNL is managed and operated by NTESS under DOE NNSA contract DE-NA0003525. |
