3D-Printed Copper Inductors Free Up Valuable Chip Space for RF Electronics

Researchers developed a room-temperature, maskless electrodeposition method for directly 3D-printing freestanding copper microinductors onto chip contact pads, enabling inductance to be generated without requiring additional dedicated planar silicon area. The printed microsolenoids achieved nanohenry-range inductance, quality factors up to 18, and experimentally validated inductive behavior up to 15 GHz, supporting their potential for post-fabrication integration into future RF electronics.

Liquid Metals Can Stretch Thousands of Percent. Printing Them Is the Hard Part

This review examines how the rheology, surface oxidation, and interfacial properties of liquid metals shape their printability and performance in stretchable electronics. The authors show how advances in material formulation and 2D-to-4D printing are enabling highly conductive, deformable devices, while identifying scalability, encapsulation, recyclability, and reliable integration as key barriers to practical use.
