Abstract
A wide range of printing methods have already been applied to conventional electronics fabrication. They include screen printing, inkjet printing, gravure printing, flexo printing, and offset printing. They are also applicable to many advanced PE products. Depending on the nature of the PE products, one must make a suitable choice regarding the of ink, substrate, designed device structure, pattern geometry, manufacturing speed, yield, quality, and production cost. The important printing parameters are as follows:
