Abstract

nkjet printing has proven to be a promising and flexible process methodology for low cost and drop-on-demand pattern formation in small-scale devices with a functional material. In this paper, micro droplet deposition using 80 micron diameter nozzle with micro piezoelectric printhead was investigated using a mixture of three fluids, distilled water (DW) and solutions of two different percentage of glycerine (G) as an operating fluids. The droplet formation capability and stability was studied according to the influence of pulse amplitude, dwell time and fluid viscosity. The results show that the optimal drop velocity to obtain a stable printing range from 0.5 ~1.5 ms-1 which corresponds to pulse amplitude range of 25 to 100V and dwell time 15 to 35 μs. Respectively droplet formation and dispensing performance give benefit in dispensing application and build a solid background to inkjeting functional polymer material.
