Abstract

Printed organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) were used in the fabrication of a screen- printed gate, source and drain electrodes on flexible plastic substrates using silver pastes, a coated polyvinylphenol dielectrics, and jetted bis(triisopropyl-silylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) organic semiconductor. The OTFTs printed using screen printing and soluble processes made it was possible to fabricate a printed OTFT with a channel length as small as $13\;{\mu}m$ on plastic substrates; this was not possible using previous traditional printing techniques.
