Thin-Film Transistors Made Easy with AHPCS Shearing Blade

Thin-Film Transistors Made Easy with AHPCS Shearing Blade

A flexible, durable and solvent-resistance inorganic polymer. (Allylhybridpolycarbosilane or AHPCS) was used to fabricate the microstructured AHPCS shearing blade. The wet-ability of the AHPCS micropillar surface is tunable. By controlling the shearing rate and the substrate temperature, crystal growth can occur along the moving blade.
