Combining Additive Manufacturing and Direct Write for Integrated Electronics – A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct write (DW) of conductive materials in the context of Additive Manufacturing (AM) enables embedded electronics within fabricated parts. Previous works use manual, hybrid, and native material patterning systems to deposit conductive materials in parts fabricated by different AM technologies. This capability could eliminate cabled interconnects and redundant electronics packaging, resulting in a significant reduction of mass and assembly complexity. In this paper, the authors explore applications of DW of conductive traces in the context of AM, review prior work in the integration, and analyze the technical roadblocks facing their hybridization. Barriers to integrating the two technology classes include material, process, and post-process compatibilities.

متن کاملThe detection of empty resist bottles or air in the resist lines of a photolithography coating tool
Photolithography is when light is used to put an image from a photo mask onto a wafer that has photo resist on it thus creating integrated circuits or other technology such as read/write heads for hard drives. Reservoir Switching Units can fail to detect resist on the Photolithography tool or the Millipore pump thus introducing air into the resist lines and ultimately causing scrap due to poor ...
