Abstract

A printing-based approach to high-performance thin-film transistors supported on flexible substrates was studied by a large-area, selective transfer of microstructured silicon. In Method I, a peanut-shaped photoresist pattern was developed on top of a SOI substrate using standard photolithography techniques. Method II uses a masterless soft-lithography technique to chemically bond the μs-Si to a PDMS-coated substrate. After heating, the PDMS was peeled from the SOI, resulting in patterned transfer of μs-Si to the UVO-modified regions of the PDMS.
