Non-contact deposition systems including jetting assemblies

A non-contact deposition system, comprising:

• a jetting assembly comprising:
• at least one micro-valve, each micro-valve comprising:
• an orifice plate including a first surface and a second surface, the orifice plate comprising an orifice extending from the first surface to the second surface,
• a spacing member disposed on the first surface, the spacing member offset from the orifice,
• a valve seat surrounding the orifice, the valve seat defining an opening in fluid communication with the orifice,
• an actuating beam disposed on the spacing member, the actuating beam extending from the spacing member toward the orifice, the actuating beam comprising a layer of piezoelectric material, the actuating beam movable between a closed position and an open position by applying an electrical signal to the layer of piezoelectric material, and
• a sealing member disposed on an end portion of the actuating beam;
• and
• a fluid manifold coupled to the micro-valve and defining a fluid reservoir containing a pressurized fluid around the actuating beam,
• wherein when the layer of piezoelectric material does not have an electrical signal applied thereto, the actuating beam is in the closed position, a sealing member surface of the sealing member contacts the orifice plate to seal the orifice and close the micro-valve, wherein in the open position fluid is ejected from the orifice towards a substrate and deposited thereon, and wherein a throw distance of the jetting assembly is configurable based on a modulation of an actuation frequency of the actuating beam.
