“…polyimide). [30] Although these approaches can yield transistors with impressive properties, [31][32][33][34][35][36][37] the procedures are complex and will require sophisticated setups to implement over large areas with suitable levels of uniformity. A different and more recent technique involves the incorporation of single-crystal inorganic semiconductors directly, in the form of separately synthesized micro-or nanoscale structures.…”

This article reviews the properties, fabrication and assembly of inorganic semiconductor materials that can be used as active building blocks to form high-performance transistors and circuits for flexible and bendable large-area electronics. Obtaining high performance on low temperature polymeric substrates represents a technical challenge for macroelectronics. Therefore, the fabrication of high quality inorganic materials in the form of wires, ribbons, membranes, sheets, and bars formed by bottom-up and top-down approaches, and the assembly strategies used to deposit these thin films onto plastic substrates will be emphasized. Substantial progress has been made in creating inorganic semiconducting materials that are stretchable and bendable, and the description of the mechanics of these form factors will be presented, including circuits in three-dimensional layouts. Finally, future directions and promising areas of research will be described.

“…When it comes to the quality of a TFT on flexible substrate, the objective is often to elevate the device performance to a level similar to a geometrically identical TFT on rigid substrate. This is in fact a rather challenging task which requires extensive experiments with various substrate materials to manage the best surface quality and CTE compatibility, rigorous examination with different passivation materials as the isolation and barrier coating to prevent out-diffusion and shorting issues, and also careful determination of deposition conditions and parameters of thin films to control the stress build-up [12].…”
