Printing technique offers several advantages in manufacturing electronics such as a direct writing of materials, reduction of chemical waste, and reproducibility with high-resolution scale, which are not affordable from other solution-based approaches. Especially for the TFTs fabrication, printing can significantly simplify manufacturing processes by directly defining the channel area, the gate, and the source and drain contacts, allowing for much low costs and high throughput manufacture of TFTs. Most of the printed TFTs have been mainly associated with p-type organic semiconductors and n-type metal oxide semiconductors. In this paper, printed p-type CuI semiconductors are demonstrated for the application of TFTs.
