Recently, extensive research on hetero-junction arrays has been reported owing to its unique band gaps dissimilar to that of homo-junctions. These hetero-junction devices can be used in laser, solar cells, and various sensors. We report on the facile method to fabricate SWCNTs/SnO2 nanowires hetero-junction arrays on flexible polyimide substrate. Each SWCNT field effect transistor (FET) and SnO2 nanowire FET exhibits the purely p- and n-type charactersistics with ohmic contact properties. Such formed pn-junctions showed rectification behaviors reproducibly with a rectification ratio of ${\sim}3{\times}103$ at 1 V and ideality factors about 12. The pn-junctions also showed a good gate modulation behavior.

In this paper, 10$\mu$ m-elevated MEMS CPWs on various substrates are presented. Effective dielectric constants of elevated CPW(ECPW) on polyimide-loaded silicon or alumina substrate are examined and characteristic impedances are also computed versus elevation height. Dispersive property of ECPW and its electromagnetic field distributions are studied through 3-D FDTD algorithm for optimum design. Attenuation of ECPW is measured with TRL calibration procedure and revealed about 3.2 43 lower than that of conventional CPW on the same low-resistivity silicon at 40 CHz. ECPW on polyimide-loaded silicon with overlapped configuration reveals 0.2 dB/mm. Especially, alumina substrate imposes better attenuation than silicon.

The effect of different annealing methods on the sheet resistance of indium tin oxide (ITO) on polyimide (PI) substrate has been investigated. As electro-annealing induced the predominant growth of crystallites of ITO thin films along (400) plane, the sheet resistance of ITO films that were electro-annealed for 2 mA at $180^{\circ}C$ considerably decreased from 50 to 28 ${\Omega}/cm^2$.

We have investigated the generation of pretilt angle for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment with in-situ photoalignment method on polyimide (PI) surfaces using thin plastic substrates. The LC aligning capabilities and pretilt angle of the thin plastic substrates by in-situ photoalignment method were better than that of the glass substrate by general photoalignment. Also, the LC pretilt angle increased with increasing healing temperature and exposure time.

PMDA와 4,4'-DDE 단량체를 이용하여 진공증착중합법으로 기판온도를 변화시키면서 제조한 폴리이미드 박막을 TGA(Thermogravimetry Analyzer)로 내열특성을 조사하였다. 박막 제조시 기판온도의 증가에 따라 증착율이 감소함을 알 수 있었으며, 기판온도가 7$0^{\circ}C$ 이상 일때는 중합이 이루어지지 않아 폴리이미드라고 할 수 없었다. TG곡선으로부터 구한 5%중량 감소온도($T_{TG}$)는 기판온도가 $20^{\circ}$, $40^{\circ}$, $70^{\circ}$일때는 $565^{\circ}$, $397^{\circ}$, $210^{\circ}$이었다. 따라서 $20^{\circ}$와 $40^{\circ}$에서 제조한 박막이 20,000시간 동안 견딜 수 있는 온도는 각각 $230^{\circ}$와 $200^{\circ}$임을 예측할 수 있었다.

Application of liquid crystal (LC) materials to a flexible device is challenging because the bending of LC displays easily causes change in thickness of the LC layer and orientation of LCs, resulting in deterioration in a displayed image quality. In this work, we demonstrate a prototype device combining a flexible polymer substrate and an optically isotropic LC-polymer composite in which the device consists of interdigitated in-plane switching electrodes deposited on a flexible colorless polyimide substrate and the composite consisting of nano-sized LC droplets in a polymer matrix. The device can keep good electro-optic characteristics even when it is in a bending state because the LC orientation is not disturbed in both voltage-off and -on states. The proposed device shows a high potential to be applicable for future flexible LC devices.

This paper presents an inkjet-printed plastic force sensor using PEDOT:PSS. Using a piezoelectric-type inkjet printer, the force sensor was manufactured by printing PEDOT:PSS ink onto a polyimide (PI) substrate film. Applying a vertical force of 0 to 100 N to the force sensor on the PI substrate with a thickness of 64 mm, the resistance of the force sensor increased in proportion to the input force by the length deformation of the PI substrates and the sensor pattern. As a result, the fabricated sensor has a characteristic of 0.001% /N with a linearity of 99.38%. In addition, as the thickness of the PI substrate film increased, the sensitivity of the sensor increased linearly. The fabricated force sensor is expected to be applied to industrial sites and healthcare fields.

이 논문에서는 Polyimide 기판의 $O_2$ 플라즈마 처리효과에 따른 GZO 박막의 구조적, 전기적, 광학적인 특성을 고찰하였다. ICP-RIE 방법을 이용하여 Polyimide 기판의 $O_2$ 플라즈마 처리의 변수로 RF power와 처리시간을 각 100 ~ 400 W, 120 ~ 600 초까지 조절하였다. RF 스퍼터링 방법으로 $O_2$ 플라즈마 처리효과에 따른 Polyimide 기판을 4인치의 GZO(ZnO : 95 wt%, $Ga_2O_3$ 5 wt%) 타겟을 사용하여 RF power 90 W, 공정압력 5 mTorr, Ar gas 20 sccm, 기판거리 5 cm, 박막두께 500nm, 상온의 조건으로 GZO 박막을 증착 하였다. Polyimide 기판에 $O_2$ 플라즈마 처리를 하지 않고 증착한 GZO 박막의 비저황은 $1.02\times10^{-2}\Omega$-cm 이었고 RF power 100W, 처리시간 120 초로 $O_2$ 플라즈마 처리 후에 증착한 GZO 박막의 비저항이 $1.89\times10^{-3}\Omega$-cm인 최적의 값이 측정되었으며 RF power가 증가할수록 투과도는 감소하였지만 처리시간의 변화에 따라서는 투과도 변화가 거의 없었다.

In this study, we fabricated the dual gate (DG) ion-sensitive field-effect-transistor (ISFET) with flexible polyimide (PI) extended gate (EG). The DG ISFETs significantly enhanced the sensitivity of pH in electrolytes from 60 mV/pH to 1152.17 mV/pH and effectively improved the drift and hysteresis phenomenon. This is attributed to the capacitive coupling effect between top gate and bottom gate insulators of the channel in silicon-on-transistor (SOI) metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) FETs. Accordingly, it is expected that the PI-EG based DG-ISFETs is promising technology for high-performance flexible biosensor applications.

In this paper, a miniaturized ring hybrid circuit is characterized based on a thin film microstrip (TFMS) on low-resistivity silicon. In order to obtain low-loss characteristics, a polyimide layer with 50 $\mu$m thickness is spin-coated onto the silicon to be used for the substrate. First, propagation characteristics of TFMS lines consisting of the ring hybrid circuit are presented. Then, a ring hybrid circuit based on TFMS is featured by employing the triple concentric circle approach for miniaturization. Triple concentric circle lines with $\lambda$$_{g}$/4 or 3$\lambda$$_{g}$/4 line lengths are implemented on the surface of the polyimide by circularly meandering to reduce the circuit size of the designed ring hybrid. Good agreement between measured and simulated results is obtained.
