Abstract

The submicrometer resolution printing of various metal acetylacetonate complex inks including Fe, V, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Zr, Mo, and In was enabled by a robust ink formulation scheme which adopted a ternary solvent system where solubility, surface wettability, and drying as well as absorption behavior on a polydimethylsiloxane sheet were optimized. Hydrogen plasma in heated conditions resulted in bombarded, resistive, or conductive state depending on the temperature and the metal species. With a conductivity-bestowed layer of MoOx and a plasma-protecting layer of ZrOx situated on the top of an IGZO layer, a solution-processed TFT exhibiting an average mobility of 0.17 cm2/(V s) is demonstrated.
