Abstract

We report here on the design, synthesis, processing, and dielectric properties of novel cross- linked inorganic/organic hybrid blend (CHB) dielectric films which enable low-voltage organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) operation. CHB thin films (20− 43 nm thick) are readily fabricated by spin-coating a zirconium chloride precursor plus an α, ω-disilylalkane cross- linker solution in ambient conditions, followed by curing at low temperatures (∼ 150° C). ...
