Organic thin film transistor with ion exchanged glass substrate

摘要

Articles utilizing strengthened glass substrates, for example, ion-exchanged glass substrates, in combination with organic molecules or polymers are described along with methods for making the articles. The articles are useful in electronics-based devices that utilize organic thin film transistors.

主权项

1. An article comprising:
a. a strengthened glass substrate having a first surface and a second surface and having a Vickers crack initiation threshold of at least 20 kgf; b. an organic semiconductor layer having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the organic semiconductor layer is in direct contact with the second surface of the strengthened glass substrate; c. a dielectric layer having a first surface and a second surface; and d. at least one additional electrode; wherein the article does not contain a barrier layer between the organic semiconductor layer and the strengthened glass substrate; wherein the strengthened glass comprises an ion-exchanged glass; and wherein the article comprises a top-gate thin film transistor, photovoltaic device, diode, or display device.
