    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide an apparatus having a device with a micronozzle array disposed on a micro-fabricated fluidic die. The device may include a first gas distribution plate and a second opposing plate, where the micro-fabricated fluidic die is disposed between the first gas distribution plate and the second opposing plate, wherein the first gas distribution plate is irreversibly joined to the micronozzle array with a seal that is gas-tight, and where the first gas distribution plate includes a plurality of sealed flow paths. A manifold may be reversibly joined to the first gas distribution plate, where the micro-fabricated fluidic die and the first gas distribution plate and the second opposing plate are disposed between the manifold. A thermally conductive plate may have at least one window that provides a clearance fit for the device across a range of motion relative to the thermally conductive plate.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a micronozzle array formed from monolithic silicon. The micronozzle array may have a plurality of nozzles, where each nozzle of the plurality of nozzles including an integrated plug valve that allows flow from the nozzle to be attenuated separately from each other nozzle of the plurality of nozzles. Each of the plurality of nozzles may include a microchannel, formed from the monolithic silicon, having a first channel portion and a second channel portion, where the first channel portion is narrower than the second channel portion, and where the first channel portion forms an aperture of the nozzle that is configured to eject vapor from the microchannel. Each of the plurality of nozzles may include a stem, formed from the monolithic silicon that includes the integrated plug valve is suspended in the microchannel to attenuate the flow from the nozzle.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a vapor distribution manifold that ejects organic vapor laden gas into a chamber and withdraws chamber gas, where vapor ejected from the manifold is incident on, and condenses onto, a deposition surface within the chamber that moves relative to one or more print heads in a direction orthogonal to a platen normal and a linear extent of the manifold. The volumetric flow of gas withdrawn by the manifold from the chamber may be greater than the volumetric flow of gas injected into the chamber by the manifold. The net outflow of gas from the chamber through the manifold may prevent organic vapor from diffusing beyond the extent of the gap between the manifold and deposition surface. The manifold may be configured so that long axes of delivery and exhaust apertures are perpendicular to a print direction.
