High-Performance Plastic Transistors Fabricated by Printing Techniques

Abstract

A printed field-effect transistor (FET) is reported, in which all the essential components are screen-printed for the first time. This transistor has a polyimide dielectric layer, a regioregular poly(3-alkythiophene) semiconducting layer, and two silver electrodes, all of which are printed on an ITO-coated plastic substrate.
