A maskless laser-write lithography processing of thin-film transistors on a hemispherical surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the design and fabrication methods for a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistors (TFTs) on a non-planar substrate using laser-write lithography (LWL). Level-to-level alignment with a high accuracy is demonstrated using LWL method. The fabricated a-Si:H TFT exhibits a field-effect mobility of 0.27 cm/V s, threshold voltage of 4.9 V and on/off current ratio of 6 10 in a saturation regime. The obtained results demonstrate that it is possible to fabricate the a-Si:H TFTs and complex circuitry on a curved surface, using a well-established a-Si:H TFT technology in combination with the maskless lithography, for hemispherical or non-planar sensor arrays. 2009 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملOrganic Thin Film Transistors with Polyvinylpyrrolidone / Nickel Oxide Sol-Gel Derived Nanocomposite Insulator
Polyvinylpyrrolidone / Nickel oxide (PVP/NiO) dielectrics were fabricated with sol-gel method using 0.2 g of PVP at different working temperatures of 80, 150 and 200 ºC. Structural properties and surface morphology of the hybrid films were investigated by X- Ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) respectively. Energy dispersive X-ray spec...
متن کاملCharacterization of nanostructured SnO2 thin film coated by Ag nanoparticles
Nanostructured SnO2 thin films were prepared using Electron Beam-Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) technique. Then Ag nanoparticles synthesized by laser-pulsed ablation were sprayed on the films. In order to form a homogenous coated of SnO2 on the glass surface, it was thermally treated at 500°C for 1 h. At this stage, the combined layer on the substrate was completely dried for 8 h in the air...
متن کاملLaser processing of thin-film multilayer structures: comparison between a 3D thermal model and experimental results
In this research, a numerical model is introduced for simulation of laser processing of thin film multilayer structures, to predict the temperature and ablated area for a set of laser parameters including average power and repetition rate. Different thin-films on Si substrate were processed by nanosecond Nd:YAG laser pulses and the experimental and numerical results were compared to each other....
متن کاملWavelength Invariant Bi/In Thermal Resist As A Si Anisotropic Etch Masking Layer And Direct Write Photomask Material
Bilayer Bi/In thin film thermal resists are Bi and In films which form an etch resistant material at ~7 mJ/cm laser exposures with near wavelength invariance from visible to EUV. New simulations predicted that Bi/In film of 15/15nm absorbs substantially at 1 nm, which projects single pulse exposure sensitivity of ~16 mJ/cm, hence suggesting good sensitivity to X-ray range. Thermal modeling has ...
