Recently, there has been growing interest in direct-write
methods for the manufacturing of microelectronic products,
as the entire electronics industry sector is aiming towards low
cost, rapid manufacturing and shorter time-to-market, as well
as reduced environmental impacts. This paper will review the
main direct-write techniques, most of which have been
invented or seen significant development during the last
decade. These techniques include droplet-based direct
writing, such as inkjet printing, filament-based direct writing,
such as the Micropen and nScrypt processes, tip based directwrite
methods, and laser beam direct writing. For each
category, only a few examples are presented, although there
are a number of specific methods and variants within each of
these categories.
