A flexible silicon barrier diode was fabricated by the transfer printing method. Micro-line patterned p-type single crystalline silicon membranes were created from a silicon on insulator wafer. The dark current of our device was very low, about 1 pA for reverse bias voltages up to 5 V, and showed rectifying behavior with an ideality factor of 1.05. The photo-response and the responsivity was 32 and 0.3 A/W, respectively, for light intensity of 1.2 mW/cm2. Also, the current of the photodetector changed under compressive stress or tensile stress. Our device is functional as the piezotronic sensor as well as the photodetector.
This paper presents low temperature solution-processed fabrication techniques for modern thin-film transistors (TFTs). We have investigated the electrical performance of aqueous solution-processed amorphous indium oxide (a-In2O3) TFTs prepared using different annealing temperatures. Even though the a-In2O3 TFTs were annealed at 200 °C, electrical characteristics of aqueous solution-processed a-In2O3 TFTs were obtained. High performance such as a saturation mobility of 8.6 cm2 V-1 s-1 and an on/off current ratio of over 106 was exhibited by a-In2O3 TFTs annealed at 250 °C.
The authors report on the photo-response characteristics of flexible sensor-transistor circuits (ST-circuits) made with (poly(3-hexylethiophene)/phenyl-C61-butryic acid methyl ester) (P3HT/PCBM) bulk heterojunction polymer and pentacene-based organic field-effect transistors, which are stacked via poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) on the plastic substrate. The results indicate that the anode-source current is variable because of both the charge separation of the photogenerated excitons and the accumulated charges at the OFET channel layer. The light dependent photo response (ΔI/I0) is modulated from 0.47 to 1.9 by the gate-source voltage at the fixed anode-source voltage of the ST-circuits.
