Abstract
An apparatus for printing discrete high-resolution high-density features on a surface is provided using an aerosol stream. An aerosol chamber has a transport gas that enters through a port and entrains aerosol in an aerosol chamber to form an aerosol-laden transport gas. A flow cell is provided that has a flow cell channel and sheath gas conduits. The aerosol-laden transport gas passes through the flow cell channel and is surrounded by sheath gas passed through the sheath gas conduits. At least one aerodynamic lens receives the aerosol-laden transport gas surrounded by sheath gas. A method of printing the aerosol droplets from the aerosol-laden transport gas onto the substrate with a mean diameter of 0.5 to 8 microns is also provided.
