This handbook and ready reference offers a well-balanced industrial and academic perspective, with chapters by industry authors complemented by contributions from leading research institutions. The result is an introduction to inkjet-based micromanufacturing, followed by an overview of the underlying theories and models, which provides the basis for a full understanding and a successful usage of inkjet-based methods in current microsystems research and development.
A large part of the text is dedicated to the actual inkjet systems, including print head design, calibration and monitoring methods, as well as integration into existing manufacturing equipment. The final section extensively covers those applications enabled by inkjet technology, such as flexible displays, electronic components, sensors and actuators as well as biomedical devices.
With its unique combination of vital yet hard-to-come-by practical knowledge in one book this is a must-have for any nano- and microtech R&D group.
