Keywords:liquid crystalline semiconductors, Dip-coating, organic transistors
Utilization of printing technologies to fabricate organic semiconductor thin films is expected for low-cost production of the devices for flexible electronics. However, large-scale high-speed fabrication of uniform organic semiconductor thin films with adequate electrical properties for these devices remains a big challenge. In this study, we demonstrate an ultrafast and scalable fabrication of uniform crystalline thin films with 100% surface coverage using liquid crystalline semiconductors such as Ph-BTBT-10 and C8-BTBT, at a rate of 3 orders of magnitude higher than before by dip-coating without seriously sacrificing FET performance. The present results indicate that we come one step closer to realizing the printed electronics.
