キーワード:printed electronics, organic thin-film transistor, short channel
Fully printed electronics on plastic have attracted considerable interest owing to their high compatibility and ease of integration. Here, we developed an ultra-high-resolution printing technique based on parallel vacuum ultraviolet (PVUV) patterning that can produce high-contrast wettability regions on flexible substrates. We used this technique to selectively deposit a functional ink with a 1-micron feature size, thereby allowing the large-scale fabrication of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with channels as short as 1 μm under ambient atmosphere. Moreover, in short-channel devices, hole injection barriers can be tuned through printing the optimum gate overlaps associated with selectively doping semiconductor/electrode interfaces, resulting in a marked reduction in contact resistance from 20 to 1.5 kohm cm, and an elevation of charge carrier mobility to a record high of 0.3 cm2 V-1 s-1 in a 1-micron-channel device. The results indicate that this technique is promising for the fabrication of large-area, high-resolution, low-cost electronics.
