Surface Role in Laser-Induced Forward Transfer Applications

Parametrization and simulation of blister-actuated laser-induced forward transfer (BA-LIFT) and LIFT for high-viscosity pastes

“…The adherence of the different layers modifies the transference, and it has been studied in some works (Kántor, Tóth and Szörényi, 1992;Lätsch et al, 1994;Kallepalli et al, 2019). Some alternative donor configurations have been used, though they are hardly used, such as the transference from a spatially-confined domain -a micropipette or a reservoir-which is irradiated by the laser (Goto, Masashiro et al, 2001;Jang et al, 2014), or matrix of microspheres coated with a sputtered metallic thin-film which focus the laser beam in multiple points and enable the transference of a multiple dot structure with a single laser pulse (Landström et al, 2004).…”
