Abstract

We describe and demonstrate a micromachined shadowmask that allows the realization of intra-grain and oligo-grain top-contact organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). First experimental results of OTFT's show that for small channel lengths, grain boundary barriers indeed appear to dominate the output characteristics of OTFTs.
