Controlling Morphology and Porosity of Printed Reactive Inks for High-Precision Printing
Background The processes currently used to manufacture photovoltaic devices are suitable to achieve a minimum sustainable price, but low profit margins and high capital expenditures on equipment severely limit growth capacity, while also preventing introduction of newer innovative technologies into the market. Approximately 2 Mkg of silver ink and...

Conductive Adhesion Promoters for Reactive Inks
Background Conductive inks and pastes are a $2-billion-per-year industry that is ripe for a disruptive technology to broaden its application base. The silver pastes that currently dominate this market are suitable for photovoltaic applications, but their feature resolutions do not scale well below 50 μm, can damage delicate substrates, and require...

Non-Contact Methods to Locate Sharp Tips
As 3D printing has become increasingly popular in recent years, 3D printing at the micro-scale has also emerged with many medical and industrial applications. These 3D micro-printers use sharp (~1 μm) pipettes to print features on the scale of 100 nanometers. To do this, the pipette tip must be precisely located in space so that it can be kept a...
