Abstract
CdSe nanoparticles have been solution deposited and thermally processed into thin film transistor channels, demonstrating for the first time that an inorganic semiconductor can be printed. A peak field effect mobility of 2.05 cm2V-1s-1 1 was observed for a device processed at 350 °C. The highest ON/OFF ratio, found in a different device, was 8.6x10 3 for a 10 to -10 V gate sweep at a drain-source voltage of -5 V. For the same voltage sweep a mobility of 0.26 cm 2V- s- and an ON/OFF ratio of 1.3 x 103 was observed in a single device. Processing temperatures as low as 250 °C were found to produce semiconducting films that displayed a field effect. A new metathetic synthesis was developed to produce pyridine-capped CdSe nanoparticles at sizes below 20 A.
