Summary: This paper introduces a method for fabricating PZT thick-film microcantilevers on stainless-steel substrates using E-jet deposition, which allows for batch manufacturing and improved energy and fracture toughness of the PZT active layer. Experimental results demonstrate that the microcantilever has a large vibrational amplitude and a significantly higher Qm value compared to similar-sized thick-film silicon-based microcantilevers.

Summary: Lead zircon titanate (PZT) composite films were successfully prepared by a hybrid method of sol-gel and electrohydrodynamic jet (E-jet) printing. Compared with PZT thick films prepared via single E-jet printing method, the PZT composite films had fewer micro-pore defects and better bonding with upper and lower electrodes, as well as higher preferred orientation of crystals. The piezoelectric properties, dielectric properties, and leakage currents of the PZT composite films were significantly improved.

Summary: The electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing method is used to fabricate a uniform, compact, and pin-hole-free PbI2 film, which serves as a high-quality active layer for photodetectors. The photodetector exhibits excellent photo-response performance with low dark current, high ON/OFF current ratio, and fast photo-response speed. These results indicate that EHD printing is a promising approach for producing high-quality semiconductor films and high-performance optoelectronic devices.

Summary: In this study, the facile dragging mode EHD jet printing of a polymer-wrapped semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube ink was investigated for fabricating NO gas-sensing field-effect transistors. By optimizing printing parameters, high-performance FETs were obtained, which were demonstrated to be effective NO sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity. The dragging mode EHD jet printing simplifies patterning processes and shows potential as a reproducible method for the fabrication of next-generation gas sensors.

Summary: This paper presents a novel fabrication method for a micro piezoelectric thick-film longitudinal-bending coupled (LBC) vibrator using electrohydrodynamic jet (E-jet) printing. The vibrator is designed using a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thick-film element, and the composite-mode frequency consistency is achieved by adjusting the thickness of the film. The micro-vibrator is then fabricated by depositing the PZT thick film directly on the elastic body using E-jet printing, and the resulting film has a density of approximately 76 μm and exhibits good potential for small-space and low-voltage applications.

Summary: In this study, printable polymer series were synthesized and used as gate dielectrics for OTFTs. The effect of different polymer types on the driving stability of OTFTs was analyzed, with PFS-co-PVBCi (3:7) showing the best performance under continuous bias stress with almost negligible Vth shift. This research successfully implemented flexible OTFT and logic devices using printed PFS-co-PVBCi (3:7) dielectrics with stable operation properties.

Summary: Two-dimensional surface pattern formation is achieved by irradiation of a gold thin film on a silicon wafer by circular- or non-polarized nanosecond laser pulses. The laser-induced reorganization shows similarities with laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPPS) formation. The created hexagonal and square patterns have good agreement with calculations of theoretically calculated wavelength of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs).
