“…High fabrication cost of components with a resonance frequency in THz region limited the widespread adaptation of devices that operate in the region from 100 GHz to 10 THz [159]. Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) utilizes a low viscosity inks in the range of 1-25000 cP to fabricate micron-sized feature sizes [160].…”

“…Metamaterial-inspired THz filters fabricated using AJP with operation frequencies of 230 GHz, 245 GHz and 510 GHz demonstrates the capability of this system in the fabrication of filters, mixer and absorbers functioning in THz region. The AJP fabricated structures were compared to their lithographic counterparts and they achieved comparable performance [159].…”

“…This standard technology allows resolutions of the order of 50 µm to be achieved with an average deposited thickness of 150-200 nm in a single pass. To increase the resolution, electrodynamic or electrohydrodynamic jet printing [38,39,40,41] or aerosol jet printing [42,43,44] have been developed. They allow the resolution to reach the micrometer range, but this is at the expense of the deposited thickness.…”

Additive manufacturing processes have emerged as a promising way to conceive terahertz and millimetric components. In this work, we discuss a printing process for sub-terahertz metallic metasurfaces fabrication on ultra-thin substrates. We demonstrate the use of a plastic substrate with a micrometric thickness which makes this printing method a promising and low cost alternative to conventional optical lithography for the fabrication of flexible terahertz 2D metasurfaces. After detailing the key parameters and limitations, we applied the optimized process to fabricate samples composed of periodic arrays of split ring resonators on 50 µm thick fused silica and 3 µm thick PET substrates. The optical response in transmission of the metasurfaces shows expected resonances in the 100 GHz range and demonstrates the use of microplotter system for rapid prototyping of low-loss terahertz passive components on ultra-thin substrate.

Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) is an emerging contactless direct write approach aimed at the production of fine features on a wide range of substrates. Originally developed for the manufacture of electronic circuitry, the technology has been explored for a range of applications, including, active and passive electronic components, actuators, sensors, as well as a variety of selective chemical and biological responses. Freeform deposition, coupled with a relatively large stand-off distance, is enabling researchers to produce devices with increased geometric complexity compared to conventional manufacturing or more commonly used direct write approaches. Wide material compatibility, high resolution and independence of orientation have provided novelty in a number of applications when AJP is conducted as a digitally driven approach for integrated manufacture. This overview of the technology will summarise the underlying principles of AJP, review applications of the technology and discuss the hurdles to more widespread industry adoption. Finally, this paper will hypothesise where gains may be realised through this assistive manufacturing process.
