N2 - Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing is an additive manufacturing technique that allows ultra-high-resolution printing. It is a non-vacuum, direct-writing, non-contact, and mask-less process. EHD printing Reduces the number of fabrication steps, making it more cost-effective and material efficient. EHD printing technology is used to fabricate micro and nanoelectronic devices. EHD printing can be operated in two different printing styles; drop-on-demands (DOD) and continuous jet. DOD utilizes the microdripping and dripping jet characteristic, while continuous jet utilizes cone-jet for patterning and deposition of materials. This technology performs various coating and printing of a wide range of printable materials and substrates. Past results showed that the EHD printing technique has advantages in aspect ratio, performance improvement, and ink materials flexibility compared to other manufacturing techniques. However, researchers have identified production outputs and limited working space as limitations of this printing technology. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on the EHD research activities related to the EHD system research and developments, studies utilizing EHD fabrication for modern electronic devices and potential future works related to EHD printing technology.
