20130133574 | MATERIAL DEPOSITION SYSTEM FOR DEPOSITING MATERIALS ON A SUBSTRATE - A material deposition system for depositing materials on an electronic substrate with a material deposition system is disclosed. The deposition system includes a frame, a gantry system coupled to the frame, a deposition head coupled to the gantry system and configured to deposit dots of low viscous and semi-viscous material on the electronic substrate, and a controller configured to control the operation of the material deposition system, including the operation of the gantry system and the deposition head. The system is capable of depositing a line or a pattern of material on the electronic substrate by moving the deposition head along an axis of motion that is substantially non-parallel to a direction of the line or pattern. Other deposition systems and methods are further disclosed. | 05-30-2013 |
