Completely Printed, Flexible, Stable, and Hysteresis-Free Carbon Nanotube Thin-Film Transistors via Aerosol Jet Printing

DOI: 10.1002/aelm.201700057 have been intensely studied for use in thinfilm transistors (TFTs) due to their excellent electronic,[15] thermal,[16] and mechanical[17] properties as well as their compatibility with solution-based processing.[5,12,18–23] One of the most promising aspects of CNT-TFTs is their compatibility with lowcost, high-throughput printing.[1,2,5,11] A broad range of applicati...

Flexible Electronics: Integration Processes for Organic and Inorganic Semiconductor-Based Thin-Film Transistors

Flexible and transparent electronics have been studied intensively during the last few decades. The technique establishes the possibility of fabricating innovative products, from flexible displays to radio-frequency identification tags. Typically, large-area polymeric substrates such as polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are used, which produces new requirements for the inte...

Towards flexible organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) for biosensing

We have studied parylene-N and parylene-C for their use as substrates and gate dielectrics in OTFTs. Parylene-N films with a thickness of 300 nm show the required dielectric properties, as verified by breakthrough-voltage measurements. The surface roughness measured for 300 nm thick parylene-N films is 4–5 nm. However, initial growth of parylene depends on the subjacent surface. This results in...
