Requirements for the miniaturization of electronics are constantly increasing as more and more functions are aimed to be integrated into a single device. At the same time, there are strong demands for low-cost manufacturing, environmental compatibility, rapid prototyping, and small-scale productions due to fierce competition, policies, rapid technical progress, and short innovation times. Altogether, those challenges cannot be sufficiently addressed by simply using either printed or silicon electronics. Instead, the synergies from combining those two technologies into so-called hybrid electronics create novel opportunities for advanced capabilities and new areas of applications. In the first part of this review, printing and patterning technologies are presented with potential compatibility with conventional electronics manufacturing techniques. They can be utilized for the fabrication of highly complex structures. Nonetheless, up-scalability, integration, and adaptation for industrial fabrication remain challenging due to technically limiting factors. Consequently, a special focus is placed on the up-scalability, availability of commercial printing, and manufacturing machines, as well as processing challenges for high-volume industrial applications. The second part of this review further provides an overview of exciting and innovative application possibilities of printed electronics, emphasizing sensor applications, as well as additively manufactured integrated circuits.

“…E-jet printing technology uses an applied electric field to “pull” the droplet out of the nozzle. It is compatible with different solutions in a more extensive viscosity range (1–10,000 cPs) and can generate droplets much smaller than the nozzle diameter due to the formation of droplets at the tip of the Taylor cone, thus enabling the printing of high-resolution structures at the micro or even nanoscale 23 . By using an electro fluidic nozzle to prepare microelectronics, Koei et al successfully printed electrodes with a minimum line width of 15 m on polyimide films 24 .…”

The high-resolution array is the basic structure of most kinds of microelectronics. Electrohydrodynamic jet (E-Jet) printing technology is widely applied in manufacturing array structures with high resolution, high material compatibility and multi-modal printing. It is still challenging to acquire high uniformity of printed array with micro-nanometer resolution, which greatly influences the performance and lifetime of the microelectronics. In this paper, to improve the uniformity of the printed array, the influence of each parameter on the uniformity of the E-jet printed dot array is studied on the cobuilt NEJ-E/P200 experimental platform, finding the applied voltage plays the most important role in maintaining the uniformity of the printed array. By appropriately adjusting the printing parameters, the dot arrays with different resolutions from 500 pixels per inch (PPI) to 17,000 PPI are successfully printed. For arrays below and over 10,000 PPI, the deviations of the uniformity are within 5% and 10% respectively. In this work, the dot array over 15,000 PPI is first implemented using E-jet printing. The conclusions acquired by experimental analysis of dot array printing process are of great importance in high resolution array printing as it provides practical guidance for parameters adjustment.

Industry 4.0 is accelerating the growth of connected devices, resulting in an exponential increase in generated data. The current semiconductor technology is facing challenges in miniaturization and power consumption, demanding for more efficient computation where new materials and devices need to be implemented. One of the most promising candidates for the next technological leap is the memristor. Due to their up‐scale manufacturing, the majority of memristors employed conventional deposition techniques (physical and chemical vapor deposition), which can be highly costly. Recently, printed memristors have gained a lot of attention because of their potential for large‐scale, fast, and affordable manufacturing. They can also help to reduce material waste, which supports the transition to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly economy. This review provides a perspective on the potential of printed electronics in the fabrication of memristive devices, presenting an overview of the main printing techniques, most suitable for memristors development. Additionally, it focuses on the materials used for the switching layer by comparing its performance. Ultimately, the application of printed memristors is highlighted by showing the tremendous evolution in this field, as well as the main challenges and opportunities that printed memristors are expected to face in the following years.
