Since inkjet printing is being employed in production lines of electronics and display industries, the tack time for inspection of jetting failure has become very important because the throughput of the inkjet printing system can be extended to the maximum limit by adopting a shorter jetting inspection time. The most popular method for inspecting jetting failure involves the use of a linear stage, a high magnification lens, and a charge coupled devicecamera. However, this conventional approach requires approximately 60 s to complete the jetting inspection and might not be suitable for a high-speed reciprocating jetting inspection in endurance tests due to the unwanted mechanical vibration. In this study, a novel concept of an inkjet monitoring module is introduced, which has an overall inspection time of 18 s. For the shorter tack time of jetting inspection, the parameters affecting the tack time are discussed in this paper.

Inkjet printing technology with a drop-on-demand (DOD) inkget head technology has been recognized as one of versatile and low cost manufacturing tools in the electronics industry. Concerned with control of driving signal, however, general strategy to optimize jetting stability has not been understood well, because of the inherent complex multi-physics nature in inkjet phenomena. Motivated by this, present study investigates the effect of driving waveforms of piezoelectric head on jetting characteristics of DOD inkjet system focused on jetting stability with phase matching of pressure waves in the print head. The results show that velocities and volumes of the ink jetted droplets were linear relations with the driving signal's maximum voltage, while periodic behaviors are observed with the driving signal's pulse widths.

잉크젯 헤드의 발열체에 적용하기 위해 $poly-Si/SiO_2/Si$ 의 다층기판 위에 결정화된 안정한 $SiO_2$ 코발트 실리사이드 박막을 증착하여 발열체를 제작하고 이들 발열체의 구조적 형상과 온도저항계수 등 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. $SiO_2$ 코발트실리사이드 박막의 형성은 금속 Co 박막을 급속 열처리장치를 이용하여 $800^{\circ}C$에서 20 초 동안 질소 분위기에서 열처리하여 실리사이드 박막을 형성하였다. 발열체의 온도저항계수 값은 약 $^0.0014/{\circ}C$ 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 인가전압 10V, 주파수 10 kHz 및 펄스간격 $1\mu\textrm{s}$ 인가시 발열체의 순간전력은 최대 2 watt를 나타내었다.

In this paper, the type of inkjet heads and the control of head of inkjet printer are surveyed. The electronic parts of inkjet printer are composed of main- board and sub-board. The inkjet head is controlled by using these boards. The results from silver ink jetting experiment are given. The results show that the implemented inkjet system can give a satisfactory performance.

미세봉(Fine Rod) 혹은 매우 가는 바늘등의 미세가공은 전자산업계나 공구의 제작등에 있어서 최근 수요가 점차 증가하고 있다. 예를 들면 잉크젯 프린터 헤드의 대량생산에 필요한 펀치나 이온빔장치의 에미터전극(Emitter Electrode)등은 지름이 100 .mu. m이하이며, 방전가공을 이용 하여 미세구멍을 가공할 때 지름 수십마이크로미터인 전극의 가공은 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구 에서는 미세봉의 제작을 위해 초음파화학가공(Ultrsonic-Assisted Chemical Machining)이라는 새로운 방법을 제시하였으며, 원통형의 가공물을 제작할 경우, 화학가공에 대한 기본적인 이론을 소개하고 그에 대한 실험을 수행한 후 그 결과에 대해 기술하였다.

A new thermal inkjet printer head on SOI wafer with virtual valve was proposed. It was composed of two rectangular heaters with same size. So we could call it T-jet(Twin jet). T-jet has a lot of merits. It has the advantage of being fabricated with one wafer and is easy to change the size of chamber, nozzle, restrictor and so on. However, above all, It is the best point that T-jet has a virtual valve. And it was manufactured on SOI wafer. The chamber was formed in its upper silicon whose thickness was 40um. The chamber's bottom layer was silicon dioxide of SOI wafer and two heaters were located underneath the chamber's ceiling. And the restirctor was made beside the chamber. Nozzle was molded by process of Ni plating. Ni was 30um thick. Nozzle ejection test was performed by printer head having 56 nozzles in 2 columns with 600NPI(nozzle per inch) and black ink. It measured a drop velocity of 12m/s, a drop volume of 30pl, and a maximum firing frequency of 12KHz for single nozzle ejection. Throwing out the ink drop in whole nozzles at the same time, it was observed that the uniformity of the drop velocity and volume was less than 4%.
