Additive jet printing of polymer thin-film transistors

• Applied Physics Letters

Organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated by direct patterning of solution-processable semiconductors consisting of either poly(9,9'-dioctyl-fluorene-co-bithiophene) or a regioregular poly(thiophene). Acoustic ink-jet printing was used to deposit the polymeric semiconductor onto print-patterned source-drain contacts. The printed transistors performed comparably to devices fabricated by spin casting the polymer. The regioregular poly(thiophene) exhibited a mobility of 0.1 cm2V-1s-1, on-off current ratios of ~10^6 and low threshold voltage.
