  • Abstract
    A lift-off process for direct photolithographic top-contact organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) has been developed using a bilayer of polyvinyl alcohol and SU8. Top-contact pentacene TFTs fabricated by this method, with a fixed channel width of 300 μm but different channel lengths varying from 10 to 80 μm, exhibited mobility values in the range of 0.01-0.03 cm2/V·s with the average of 0.021 ± 0.007 cm2/V·s. It is expected that the adoption of SU8 with a high aspect ratio enables the easy fabrication of submicrometer channel devices, giving rise to improved carrier transport characteristics.
