| Summary: | Among different approaches for additive manufacturing of electronic devices, inkjet
printing is a potential method because it is capable of fabricating multi-material devices with good
resolution. Meanwhile, zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor, and it is an interesting
material for electronic, optoelectronic and gas sensing devices. Hence, inkjet printing of ZnO is an
attractive approach for additive manufacturing of functional devices. Band bending, caused by the
exchanging of electrons at the surface of the semiconductor, has a significant effect on the
performance of semiconductor devices in general and ZnO-based devices in particular. In this
work, we present the modification of band bending of inkjet-printed ZnO thin film using thermal
annealing. The results show a potential approach to improve the performance of the printed
electronic device. |
