Plastic Transistors Market Trends Shaping Long-Term Demand
Leading companies in the plastic transistor market are innovating fabrication methods, such as utilizing carbon nanotube wiring on plastic films, to maintain their market position. This fabrication method involves converting raw materials into finished or semi-finished goods. For example, in March 2023, a team at the University of Tokyo, a Japan-based research university, introduced a new approach for manufacturing plastic transistors using ultraviolet light, allowing for low-cost and potentially scalable production. The procedure for fabricating plastic transistors entails coating a surface with a positively doped silicon layer, creating nanoscale trenches in the device layer through electron-beam lithography, followed by dry etching to form a silicon nanomembrane, and then additional dry etching to isolate and define the transistor. The advantages of plastic transistor fabrication include manufacturing simplicity and potential cost reductions.
