Ink jet printing of silver metallization for photovoltaics. Quarterly technical report, October 1, 1984-December 30, 1984
During this quarter, significant progess was made in the continuing development of the ink jet printing system for thick film circuits. The unit being used in this research is a prototype ink jet printer developed on a contract with the Naval Avionics Center. One of the first tasks completed early in the quarter was the complete documentation of this ink jet printing system as it existed. It was determined that this was an essential step in deciding what modifications were needed to the system and how these modifications would be implemented. After this initial step was completed, design modification studies were started for electronic, mechanical, and programming aspects of the system. These studies were completed at the end of the second month. The areas needing improvement were discussed and applicable changes decided upon. Some of these improvements were completed during this quarter and others have only been started. It should be noted that, although the general areas needing improvement have been identified and some changes decided upon, the exact details of how other changes will be implemented have not yet been decided. During the next months, these details will be discussed further and the modifications put in place accordingly.
