ABSTRA T
“Existence of every thing is felt with new innovations and
inventions”. Thus to relace silicon a alternate technology to meet our
resent day needs so that the roduction cost could reduce to handsome
amount! consume less ower and overall ma"e thing easy is this
technology “#$%&T'$()*+”.
#$%&T'$()*+ is an emerging advancement in the
materialistic world which has enormous alications to change the
existing conditions to a dramatic extent. The researches ,rought a,out
innovative ideas on integrate lastics into mainstream electronics.
-iewing of world could change through flat anel dislays. Transistor

INTRODU TION
+ilicon considered as the ,est semiconductor and "nown to ,e “"ith
and "in “ of electronics has largely influenced the electronic industry and would
continue to do so over a eriod of time. owever we are loo"ing for a relacement
or an alternative that could meet our needs. 2e "now retty well the rover,
“(ecessity is the mother of invention”3 exactly the same is this case too.
Today most of the electronic circuits are integrated
circuits4semiconductor chis fa,ricated out of silicon. #roducing these circuits
involves huge investments "nown to ,e in millions of dollars. +o we are coming
out with a new technology "nown as #$%&T'$()*+ which would ,e a,le to
roduce these circuits on lastics which are flexi,le enough to ,e easily rolled u
have dislay screens that can ,e continuously udated with shar images consume
less ower and a,ove all can ,e manufactured at a fraction of the cost involved in
ma"ing semiconductor chis.
Thus #olymer Electronics a,,reviated as #$%&T'$()*+ is a
com,ination of two different terminologies meaning electronics using olymers or
simly lastics.

electronics! what changes on existing things it could ma"e! what new things it

What is a POLYMER?
#olymers are nothing ,ut macromolecules ,uilt ,y reeated chain of
monomers ,y the rocess of olymeri0ation. These olymers are formed ,ecause
of dou,le and trile ,onds ,etween monomer to form a rigid structure and uni6uechemical and hysical characteristics. There are many such olymers li"e
olyethylene 7olethene! olyactelyene! olyvinylchloride 7#-* and so on.
)n case of olyactelyene! which ossesses conjugated dou,le ,onds is
as shown in fig.
/ased on their ultimate form and use a olymer can ,e classified as
lastics! elastomer! fi,re or resin. 2hen a olymer is shaed into hard and tough
utility they are termed as lastics. s we "now olymers or simly lastics are the
extensively used in this materialistic world. Their uses and alications range right
from your tooth ,rush till your clothing and containers. They are used to coat metal
wires to revent electric shoc"s. +uch is the usage of olymers in this day today
life.

)t is well "nown that grahite is a good conductor! reviously it was
thought that olymers which su,stitute a car,on 7e.g. adding hydrogen=s to ma"e
hydrocar,ons for another atom could not conduct! however our greater "nowledge
of conjugated systems has ena,led the discovery of conducting olymers. s in a
conjugated system the electrons are only loosely ,ound! electron flow may ,e
ossi,le. owever as the olymers are covalently ,onded the material needs to ,e
doed for electron flow to occur. >oing is either the addition of electrons
7reduction reaction or the removal of electrons 7oxidation reaction from the
olymer. $nce doing has occurred! the electrons in the i,onds are a,le to

wide sread in electronics. Aost imortantly the relacement of silica to fa,ricate a
microchi could ,ring a,out dramatic changes as ,ecause the cost will reduce to
hand some amount and roduction too ,ecomes easier.

FLEXONI S
lthough current silicon chi technology has had a huge imact on
western lifestyles and the erformance of chis is continually ,eing imroved! the
silicon electronics industry is an industry facing limitations. *urrent methods of
silicon chi roduction are very caital intensive! re6uiring huge lants and large
num,ers of chis roduced at any one time to give small returns on large
investments. )n addition! the turnaround times are lengthy and mista"es are hugely
exensive. ;urthermore! suly and demand are far from sta,le and the rocess of
roducing chis is energy intensive! re6uires high temeratures and vacuum
rocessing! and in the case of hotolithograhic methods! a lot of ure water. There
is! however! a rocess that romises chea circuits! tailor made for individual
alications roduced locally as they are needed.
;a,rication of microelectronic comonents lastic su,strate instead of
silicon would allow manufacturing of comlete gadgets through just rinting
rocess in the near future. This technology would focus on ,uilding any electronic
device from ,ottom u gradually! so instead of ,uilding a device ,y adding new
comonents through the regular Cassem,le and ,uild5 techni6ue! the entire roduct
would come out of the rinter comlete with electronic circuitry em,edded in the
-

roduct. The technology of roducing such em,edded electronic circuitry of lastic
wafers is “;%ED$()*+”.
The rinciles that aly to rinting on olymer are similar to those
used in industrial in" jet rinting. lthough lastic semiconductors are not yet
"ings of erformance 7lastic inhi,its electron mo,ility! the technology could
drastically reduce roduction costs! ,ecause it is much less volatile than silicon. )t
could hel usher in lowcost smart aliances. /ut it is found a way to rint clever
materials in such a way that we can ma"e ractical.
The new technology will have the most immediate imact on varioustyes of dislays! including mo,ilehone screens! flatscreen comuter monitors!
and televisions. The inclusion of lastic chis could mean that manufacturers of
T;T 7thinfilm transistor flatanel screens and televisions! which currently use a
traditional silicon,ased transistor for each ixel! would ,e a,le to switch to much
cheaer chis. The manufacturing rocess is simler! ,ecause it doesn5t re6uire
vacuum rocessing or high temeratures. +o facilities will cost a fraction of that
rice.
The huge cost of massmanufacturing silicon microchis is due
largely to the comlex rocesses involved. #hotolithograhic techni6ues are used
to attern wafers with micro circuitry! which is grown in owerful vacuums while
the wafers are ,a"ed at temeratures of several hundred degrees *elsius. +ilicon
foundries tyically use wafers of only one si0e! each fa,ricated as a discrete unit infacilities that cost ,illions of dollars to design and ,uild. There could ,e a
continuous roduction line of lastic circuits rinted on a lastic su,strate and then
cut into individual units. The su,strate may erhas ,e made of the same acetate
material as transarent -ugrah sheets.

The whole thing wor"s at am,ient ressure! doing away with many of
the costly vacuum stes needed for silicon. The rinting of circuits on a scale far
larger than is ossi,le with silicon is also in view and of great imortance for the
develoment of large flatscreen dislays. The #lastic %ogic rinter resem,les any
home office in"jet rinter. ie0oelectric material exands when a voltage is
assed across it! ressing on a reservoir of fluid and sending drolets flying out
onto the su,strate.
The water,ased drolets contain an organic conductoroly 7!
ethylenedioxythiohene doed with solution of olystyrene sulfonic acid!
otherwise "nown as #E>$T4#++. s the drolets dry! they ,ecome a conducting
layer and form the source and drain of a transistor. These are then coated with a
layer of a semiconducting olymer 79!9dioctylfluoreneco,ithiohene! followed
,y a dielectric layer of olyvinyl henol. ;inally! the gate is rinted! creating a so
called to gate transistor.
The net result is lastic circuits whose advantages over their silicon
counterarts include low caital investment! a large area caa,ility! the a,ility to ,e
rinted on flexi,le su,strates! an environmentally friendly roduction rocess!
transarency! ease of customisation! 6uic" cycle and turnaround times! ro,ustness!
light weight! and thinness.
The molecular chains must line u in a way that ma"es it easy for electrons
to ho from one chain to another. /ut olymers tend to form into disorderedmicrostructures that reduce electronchargethe ,light of earlier attemts to
roduce organic transistors efficiently.

owever it is discovered that a careful choice of olymers would yield
selforgani0ed chains that achieved charge mo,ilities of u to ?.1 cmF4-4s. ll of a
sudden! thin film transistors could match at least some of the roerties of their
silicon cousins.
2e have also had to overcome some in"jet rinting limitations! nota,ly a
maximum resolution of around G?? dots er s6uare inch 79?4cm F arising from
natural variations in the drolets= flight aths. This translates into a feature si0e of
around H? Im. (ow the smaller the transistor! the shorter the distances electrons
must travel within it! and the faster the device can ,e switched on and off.
Jnfortunately! this H?Im limit falls short of the 1?Im si0es needed for fast
circuits.
+o the resolution has to ,e increased. ;or now! they do it hoto
lithograhically ,y coating the glass su,strate with a hydroho,ic film of
olyimide in a attern that defines transistor dimensions. 2hen the water,ased
drolets fall on the surface! they are forced away from the hydroho,ic regions in
the re6uired attern. +o far! single transistors and simle logic circuits have ,een
roduced with a feature length of as little as H Im. This should lead to circuits with
the switching seeds of a few tens of "ilohert0 needed for dislay alications and
smart tags.
)t is ,elieved that hotolithograhy can ,e relaced ,y other techni6ues!
such as hoto atterning! in which having ultraviolet light shone on it atterns asingle hydrohilic layer. Thus the circuit could still ,e fa,ricated in successive
stes of coating and rinting. Jsing hotolithograhy now is an o,vious
shortcoming of initial demonstrations! ,ut it won5t ,e a ro,lem in the long term.
To overcome this ro,lem via a rocess of su,strate surface energy atterning! this

directs the flow of the water,ased conducting olymer in"jet drolets. This in turn
ena,les highresolution definition of channel lengths! down to lengths of five
microns and ,elow.
Aore difficult will ,e ma"ing devices of greater comlexity. Aa"ing a
single transistor is in some sense trivial. +caling u the technology is the difficult
thing. )t is lanned to ,uild a more comlex rototye chi.

The technology develoed here ena,les the formation of a range of
devices re6uired in comlex integrated circuits. atented technology that allows
manufacturers to rint lastic onto a olymer su,strate. The result is a lastic
,ased transistor that is inexensive and flexi,le. #articular exertise has ,een
develoed in the creation of thin film transistors 7T;Ts! the "ey comonent of
digital circuits. Techni6ues have also ,een created to ena,le the construction of
other circuit elements including interconnects! resistors! caacitors! diodes and via
holes.
Thin ;ilm Transistor acts as a switch that can ,e controlled ,y the
voltage ut on the three contacts. These three contacts are called the source! drain
and the gate. The transistor consists of four layers. The thic"ness of each of the
layers is less than 1?? nmB

The ste is to in"jet rint the transistor source and drain onto the
energy atterned su,strate. The water,ased conductive olymer used! for examle
#E>$T! is attracted to the hydrohilic surface! ,ut reelled ,y the hydroho,ic
areas. This stos the conductive olymer sreading or slashing on the su,strate
and gives rise to the very high resolution achieva,le. The transistor semiconductor!
for instance >ow *hemical5s ;8TF! is then in" jetted into the ga ,efore the
transistor gate dielectric layer is sin coated from solution across the entire area.
Aetal is then deosited to form T;T gates and gate interconnects. The ,ac"lane is
now comlete and ready for integration with a dislay effect! such as li6uid crystal
or eaer.
>evices are designed ,y way of *> software and created using
advanced solution,ased rocessing techni6ues. The materials used are
sohisticated semi conducting! insulating! and conducting olymers. dditionally!
nanoarticle metals are utili0ed. #lastic electronics relicate many of the electrical
functionalities of conventional silicon without comlex vacuum deosition! mas"
alignment and high temerature manufacturing rocesses. The technology ena,les
roduction of devices with consistent erformance and significant cost advantages.
$ne of the challenges in develoing a manufacturing rocess
that could change an entire industry is where to concentrate the technology first. )t

of glass. Klass is used as it is easy to handle and its roerties are well "nown and
understood. The su,strates are urchased reatterned with indium oxide doed

electronic thin film transistor 7T;T source! drain and channel are then defined ,y
surface energy atterning. The su,strate is hydroho,ic 7water hating! ,ut the
alied energy atterning is hydrohilic 7water loving so the techni6ue of energy
