Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a promising polymer due to its high solubility with water, availability in low molecular weight, having short polymer chain, and cost-effectiveness in processing. Printed technology is gaining popularity to utilize processible solution materials at low/room temperature. This work demonstrates the synthesis of PVA solution for 2.5% w/w, 4.5% w/w, 6.5% w/w, 8.5% w/w and 10.5% w/w aqueous solution was formulated. Then the properties of the ink, such as viscosity, contact angle, surface tension, and printability by inkjet and aerosol jet printing, were investigated. The wettability of the ink was investigated on flexible (Kapton) and non-flexible (Silicon) substrates. Both were identified as suitable substrates for all concentrations of PVA. Additionally, we have shown aerosol jet printing (AJP) and inkjet printing (IJP) can produce multi-layer PVA structures. Finally, we have demonstrated the use of PVA as sacrificial material for micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) device fabrication. The dielectric constant of printed PVA is 168 at 100 kHz, which shows an excellent candidate material for printed or traditional transistor fabrication.

ABSTRACT2D materials have shown to be the next step in semiconductor use and device manufacturing that can allow us to reduce the size of most electronics. One of the novel ways to obtain 2D materials is through liquid exfoliation, in which these materials can be obtained by dispersing the smallest possible particles in different solvents. Once obtained, the solutions can be used to manufacture devices via different processes, one of which is inkjet printing. This process relies in selecting “jettable” fluids, which need to have the necessary combination of viscosity and surface energy or “wettability”. In this work we have modified the viscosities and surface energies of five solvents: IPA (Isopropanol), NMP (N-methyl – 2 pyrrolidone), DMA (Dimethylacetamide), DMF (Dimethylformamide) and a mixture of Cyclohexanone / Terpineol 7:3. We have found an avenue to tailor the viscosity of these solvents though the addition of Ethyl Cellulose (EC), where the viscosity has been increased by up to 15 times at an EC concentration of 6%. For inkjet printing, ideally a viscosity of 4 – 10 cP is recommended, which we have been able to achieve with all of the solvents studied. It has been found that the different solvents present different susceptibilities to the EC addition, with DMA and DMF being the least sensitive to the EC addition. We have also studied the change in the drop dynamics and interactions of the 2D solutions with the substrate. Through this analysis we have found solvents that appear to be attractive for inkjet printing of MoS2 and graphite.

In this work, we report a novel method of maskless doping of a graphene channel in a field-effect transistor configuration by local inkjet printing of organic semiconducting molecules. The graphene-based transistor was fabricated via large-scale technology, allowing for upscaling electronic device fabrication and lowering the device’s cost. The altering of the functionalization of graphene was performed through local inkjet printing of N,N′-Dihexyl-3,4,9,10-perylenedicarboximide (PDI-C6) semiconducting molecules’ ink. We demonstrated the high resolution (about 50 µm) and accurate printing of organic ink on bare chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene. PDI-C6 forms nanocrystals onto the graphene’s surface and transfers charges via π–π stacking to graphene. While the doping from organic molecules was compensated by oxygen molecules under normal conditions, we demonstrated the photoinduced current generation at the PDI-C6/graphene junction with ambient light, a 470 nm diode, and 532 nm laser sources. The local (in the scale of 1 µm) photoresponse of 0.5 A/W was demonstrated at a low laser power density. The methods we developed open the way for local functionalization of an on-chip array of graphene by inkjet printing of different semiconducting organic molecules for photonics and electronics.

Recent advances in inkjet printing of two-dimensional (2D) crystals show great promise for next-generation printed electronics development. Printing nonuniformity, however, results in poor reproducibility in device performance and remains a major impediment to their large-scale manufacturing. At the heart of this challenge lies the coffee-ring effect (CRE), ring-shaped nonuniform deposits formed during postdeposition drying. We present an experimental study of the drying mechanism of a binary solvent ink formulation. We show that Marangoni-enhanced spreading in this formulation inhibits contact line pinning and deforms the droplet shape to naturally suppress the capillary flows that give rise to the CRE. This general formulation supports uniform deposition of 2D crystals and their derivatives, enabling scalable and even wafer-scale device fabrication, moving them closer to industrial-level additive manufacturing.

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures have excellent potential for future use in radiation hardened and high speed integrated circuits. For device fabrication in SOI material a high quality superficial Si layer above a buried oxide layer is required. Recently, Celler et al. reported that post-implantation annealing of oxygen implanted SOI at very high temperatures would eliminate virtually all defects and precipiates in the superficial Si layer. In this work we are reporting on the effect of three different post implantation annealing cycles on the structure of oxygen implanted SOI samples which were implanted under the same conditions.
