Fabrication and Micropatterning of Conducting Polymer Nano-Films for Electronic Displays

Abstract:

We investigate the electrical conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanofilms and micropatterning prepared by vapor-phase polymerization method using self-assembling teacnique. The thin conductive films were uniformly fabricated between 20 and 100 nm, there surface resistance wasenhanced until to 102
/square, and the light-transmittance were also increased as up to 95 %. We report a fabrication of electrically conducting PEDOT pattern on a electrically insulating substrate using a microcontact printing method. Then, patterns are successfully obtained with line widths down to 3
.
