摘要
We have demonstrated a nondestructive method using ultraviolet (UV) photolithography to fabricate micrometer-sized conducting polymer structures. By coating a polymer film on patterned photoresist and then performing liftoff, UV exposure to the conducting polymer film was prevented throughout the lithography processes. We created features down to 1 mu m with high yield. Such complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible microfabrication can be applied generally to various organic films, and may allow the speed of organic electronics to be improved. Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated using poly(3-hexylthiophene) as the active material, and typical OTFT characteristics were obtained. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
