Abstract
In this thesis, a processing platform based on inkjet printing technology was developed to facilitate the possibility of producing flexbile electronic devices. in academia and industry of Taiwan. To serve as a prototyupe for the complete in-line manufacturing system and fabricating procedures, this processing platform integrates optomechatronic systems include machine vision, liquid/gas pressure control, flexible programming environment, inkjet printing heads, ink preparation, moving platform, and thermal processing equipments, etc.
The success in fabricating electronic components and circuits such as resistor, capacitors, thin film transistors, and inverters by producing printed pattern of different functional layers with different materials on flexible substrates proved the potential of using this newly developed inkjet printing system to serve as a manufacturing system. The silver mirror process was developed to create the electric connection between components, which led to very high conductivity electric connections in the circuit created. The improvement in on/off ratio and mobility of flexible thin film transistor with all organic materials and polymeric semiconductor P3HT were attribed to better humidity control, well controlled air particles, and a novel packaging process developed. The final data obtained verified the internationally competitive performance including 104 on/off ratio and 10-1 mobility of printed P3HT OTFT measured at the ambient environments.
