Fabrication of 70 nm channel length polymer organic thin-film transistors using nanoimprint lithography

چکیده
We report on the fabrication of short-channel polymer organic thin-film transistors ~OTFTs! using nanoimprint lithography. Currently, there is significant interest in OTFTs due to their potential application in inexpensive, large-area electronics. However, polymer carrier mobilities are typically poor, and thus to increase the OTFT drive current per unit area, there is a need for short-channel devices. We have fabricated working devices with channel lengths from 1 mm down to 70 nm with high yields. The performance of these devices was studied as the channel length was reduced. We find that drive current density increases as expected, while the on/off current ratio remains 10. However, at short-channel lengths, OTFTs no longer saturate due to space charge limiting current effects. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1526457#

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) has stimulated great interest in both academic research and industrial development due to its high resolution, high throughput and low cost advantages. Though NIL has been demonstrated to be very successful in replicating nanoscale features, it also has its limitations as a general lithography technique. Its fundamental moulding characteristics (i.e. physically dis...

Nanoimprint lithography ~NIL! is a paradigm-shift method that has shown sub-10-nm resolution, high throughput, and low cost. To make NIL a next-generation lithography tool to replace conventional lithography, one must demonstrate the needed overlay accuracy in multilayer NIL, large-area uniformity, and low defect density. Here, we present the fabrication of 60-nm channel metal–oxide–semiconduct...

The authors report that the poly 3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl P3HT nanogratings shaped by nanoimprint lithography show enhanced hole mobility and strong anisotropy of conductance due to nanoimprint-induced three-dimensional polymer chain alignment. Field effect transistors were fabricated using these nanogratings and device measurements show a hole mobility of 0.03 cm2 /V s along the grating direc...

متن کاملThe measurement of viscosity of thin polymer films
The development of nanotechnology faces many problems, one of which is lack of a fast and cheap method for fabricating structures whose dimensions are less than 0.1 μm. One method to solve this problem is nanoimprint lithography (NIL). The method of fabricating nanometer scale patterns by NIL was first proposed by Chou1,2 in 1995. Nanoimprint lithography creates patterns by the mechanical defor...
