Inorganic Semiconductors for Flexible Electronics

Abstract: This article reviews several classes of inorganic semiconductor materials that can be used to form high‐performance thin‐film transistors (TFTs) for large area, flexible electronics. Examples ranging from thin films of various forms of silicon to nanoparticles and nanowires of compound semiconductors are presented, with an emphasis on methods of depositing and integrating thin films of these materials into devices. Performance characteristics, including both electrical and mechanical behavior, for isolated tra… Show more

“…They exist in composite materials 1 , geological strata 2,3 , electronic devices 4 , biological tissues 5,6 and soft actuators 7 . In many cases, stresses arise due to differences in thermal expansion [8][9][10] , chemical reactions 11 , growth 5,12 , swelling 13 , or mechanical pre-strains 14 .…”

“…Another feature is the transfer printing of clusters onto other arbitrary substrates. These printing techniques have been developed for single nanoparticles 14 and for other semiconducting and dielectric microstructures 34 , and they provide a route to integrating self-assembled plasmonic structures with other types of materials.…”
