Abstract

Aside from photolithography to produce electronic integrated circuits and device system, 3D printing can allow these circuits to be directly printed using novel ink compositions or nanoparticles and integrated printer heads. Printed electronics in its various forms and innovations can revolutionize electronics manufacturing. This chapter outlines contemporary developments and future innovations in 3D electronics printing.
