Abstract

An inkjet printing method for forming a continuous three-dimensional structure is disclosed. A pre-patterned temporary structure is formed on a substrate for defining a filling groove on the substrate. An inkjet printing process is performed for filling the ink droplets into the filling groove. The ink droplets cover the filling groove and contact the surface of the temporary structure and the substrate at the same time. A self-aligned effect is formed by a composition of the gravity of the ink droplets, a surface tension between the ink droplets and the temporary structure, and a surface tension between the ink droplets and the substrate. When the ink droplets are solidified, a standalone continuous three-dimensional structure is formed by removing the temporary structure. The geometry of the continuous three-dimensional structure can be defined by the temporary structure; therefore a small track width of the solidified ink droplets can be obtained.
