Abstract
The inkjet printing technology has undergone remarkable development since the concept of printed electronics was first introduced. The large interest which it has sparkled is due to its many enticing features such as processing simplicity, low cost and scalability as well as its compatibility with flexible electronics. Thanks to constant improvements, inkjet printing has nowadays become a mature technology which is an effective replacement for a number of intricate and expensive conventional laboratory tools and is also on the verge of gaining industrial significance. Technological challenges which still remain open include low temperature processing, high density integration and reproducibility. This paper reviews some recent advances in the inkjet printing technology, addressing those issues. And we also discuss a number of novel approaches to performing inkjet printing.
