Manufacturing Cycle-Time Optimization Using Gaussian Drying Model for Inkjet-Printed Electronics

Inkjet-printed electronics have attracted considerable attention for low-cost mass production. To avoid undesired device behavior due to accidental ink merging and redistribution, high-density designs can benefit from layering and drying in batches. The overall manufacturing cycle-time, however, now becomes dominated by the cumulative drying time of these individual layers. The state-of-the-art ap...
