Garret and Popi's paper on the fabrication of radio frequency capacitors and inductors by inkjet printing has been accepted in IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. The Title is "Fully inkjet-printed RF inductors and capacitors using polymer dielectric and silver nanoparticle ink with through vias."
Abstract: fully inkjet-printed multilayer capacitors and inductors are fabricated and characterized using poly 4-vinylphenol (PVP) ink as the dielectric layer and silver nanoparticle ink as the conductor. Inkjet-printed through vias, created with a novel dissolving method are used to make RF structures in a multilayer inkjet printing process. The successful implementation of inductors and capacitors in an all inkjet-printed multilayer process with vias is an important step toward the fully inkjet-printed large area and flexible RF systems.
