“…A technique for patterning dielectric materials, which are used for insulating and passivation layers in solar cells, used AJP's selective deposition to produce localised chemical etching on a series of silicon substrates coated with silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride and aluminium oxide [94]. In this approach, a bulk layer of polyacrylic acid was spin-coated on to the coated silicon substrate before AJP was used to deposit an ammonium fluoride solution.…”

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.
