Abstract
Pentacene-based organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) have been fabricated on several types of flexible substrates: standard photo paper, ultra-smooth specialty paper and ultra-thin (100 µm) flexible glass. For comparison OTFTs were also fabricated on liquid crystal display (LCD) quality glass rigid substrates. The transistors were fabricated entirely through dry-step processing. The field-effect mobility of OTFTs on photo paper reached values (0.09 cm
2
/Vs) close to that on LCD glass (0.11 cm
2
/Vs). Transconductance values for OTFTs on photo paper and LCD glass were also fairly close, with values of 0.52 and 0.82 mS/m, respectively. The comparable characteristics between OTFTs fabricated on widely available, low cost paper and high quality expensive LCD glass indicate the potential importance of cellulose-based electronic devices.
