METHOD OF MAKING ORGANIC THIN FILM TRANSISTORS USING A LASER INDUCED THERMAL TRANSFER PRINTING PROCESS

摘要

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing an organic thin film transistor (TFT), comprising: providing a substrate layer; providing a gate electrode layer; providing a dielectric material layer; providing an organic semiconductor (OSC) material layer; providing a source and drain electrode layer; and wherein one or more of the layers is deposited using a laser induced thermal imaging (LITI) process. Preferably the organic TFT is a bottom gate device and the source and drain electrodes are deposited on an organic semiconductor layer, or over a dielectric material layer using LITI. Further preferably a dopant material may be provided between the OSC material and the source and drain electrode layer, wherein the dopant material may also be deposited using LITI. Also preferably, wherein the dopant may be a charge neutral dopant such as substituted TCNQ or F4TCNQ.
