Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of flexible photoelectric detection technology, and relates to a high-density intrinsically stretchable organic phototransistor array and a preparation method and application thereof, and in particular to a method for preparing and integrating high-resolution stretchable microelectrodes assisted by a transferable interface method, and its application in high-sensitivity X-ray detection and scalable imaging technology. Background Art

[0002] Flexible photodetection and imaging technologies are crucial for the development of next-generation bioelectronic devices, including wearable and implantable monitoring devices, advanced medical imaging systems, and intelligent biomimetic robots. Modern digital imaging technology mainly relies on highly sensitive photodetectors, such as silicon-based flat-panel detectors, scintillator-type flat-panel detectors, indium gallium arsenide photon detectors, etc. However, these detectors are expensive to prepare, have poor biocompatibility, and have high rigidity, making them difficult to use in humans or organisms. In order to achieve high-fidelity and excellent spatial resolution imaging of complex objects, it is urgent to develop highly integrated, ultra-sensitive, and low-voltage skin-like photoelectric devices for remote, continuous, and long-term biological monitoring.

[0003] Stretchable organic optoelectronic devices have become ideal candidates for next-generation radiation detectors due to their high skin conformality, functional adjustability, and ease of large-area processing, and have therefore attracted widespread attention from industry and academia. In recent years, high-density intrinsic stretchable organic transistor arrays have been fabricated based on microlithography technology and innovative material design (Wang, S., Xu, J., Wang, W. et al., Nature 2018, 555, 83–88.; Zheng YQ, Liu YX, Zhong DL, et al., Science 2021, 373, 88–94.). However, due to the complex molecular structure and microfabrication process flow, intrinsic stretchable organic electronic devices are still difficult to balance high integration, multifunctionality, and operational stability. Although stretchable organic transistors have been used as addressing units to achieve small curved imaging prototypes (Shim, H., Sim, K., Wang, B. et al., Nat. Electron. 2023, 6, 349–359.), research related to stretchable image sensors still faces huge challenges, such as pixel size, power consumption, and operational stability, which seriously hinder the realization of scalable high-resolution X-ray imaging. Stretchable multi-pixel transistor arrays based on quantum dot-doped elastic semiconductors and microcracked gold electrodes exhibit high photoresponse and wide detection range (Song, JK., Kim, J., Yoon, J. et al. Nat. Nanotechnol. 2022, 17, 849–856.), but high-resolution and ultra-sensitive scalable optical imaging technology has not been reported. Therefore, the development of flexible optoelectronic integration technology and the innovation of stretchable organic optoelectronic devices are the key to promoting the realization and further dynamic application of scalable photodetection arrays.

For example, the silicon wafer with the self-assembled molecular layer on the surface in step (2) is placed at the center of a spin coater, 20 μL of a DPP-BT / SEBS chlorobenzene solution with a mass ratio of 3:7 and a concentration of 10 mg / ml of the two polymers is dripped onto the silicon wafer with the self-assembled molecular layer, and then spin-coated at a speed of 2000 rpm for 1 minute. Finally, the silicon wafer is placed on a hot plate and annealed at 150° C. for 15 minutes to obtain a stretchable polymer semiconductor layer with a thickness of 100 nm.

[0080] According to the present invention, in step S1, the stretchable gate electrode can be prepared by spraying or inkjet printing; when the stretchable gate electrode and the stretchable source and drain microelectrodes are made of carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotube electrodes are all prepared by spraying or inkjet printing on a substrate of a surface self-assembled organic siloxane polymer; the solvent used in the carbon nanotube solution is any one of water, ethanol, isopropanol, chlorobenzene, N-methylpyrrolidone or a mixed solvent thereof; the concentration of the carbon nanotube solution is 0.1-0.5 mg / ml; the spraying strip The conditions are: the substrate temperature is 60-120°C, the distance between the spray gun and the substrate is 7-15 cm, the spraying speed is 0.1-3 mL / min, and the volume of the spraying solution is 1-5 mL; for example, a silicon wafer self-assembled with organic siloxane is placed on a hot stage at 80°C for 5 minutes, a 0.3 mg / mL carbon nanotube P3-SWNT isopropanol solution is transferred to the volume chamber of the spray gun, and then evenly sprayed on the silicon wafer of the self-assembled organic siloxane at a rate of 0.5 mL / min, wherein the distance between the spray gun nozzle and the silicon wafer is 10 cm.

[0081] According to the present invention, in step S2, the substrate is first treated as follows before spin coating the photoresist: ultrasonic cleaning with deionized water, acetone, and isopropanol for 6-7 minutes in sequence, and drying with nitrogen. The photoresist can be a negative photoresist, a positive photoresist suitable for lift-off, and an electron beam photoresist; specifically, the negative photoresist can be any one of a polyester glue system: polyvinyl cinnamate (KPR) glue and polyethylene oxyethyl cinnamate (OSR) glue and a cyclized rubber system: polyhydrocarbon-bisazide (OMR) glue; the positive photoresist can be any one of an o-diazonaphthoquinone-linear phenolic resin system: AZ5214, AZnLOF2000, and AZnLOF5000 photoresist; the electron beam photoresist can be a poly(methyl)acrylate (PMMA) and its derivative system: AR-N 4340, AR-P617PMMA / MA, AR-N 7520, AR-N 7500, RN 218, RN246, MA-N 400, and MA-N1400 photoresist, and an epoxy resin system: SU8 Any one of SU8 2005 and SU8 2015 photoresists. According to the present invention, in step S2, the thickness of the photoresist is 0.8-3 μm, preferably 1.2-2 μm, and the part with the photoresist is stripped by acetone ultrasonic cleaning.

[0082] According to the present invention, in step S2, the sacrificial layer is a small molecule film, a hydrolyzable or degradable polymer film; the thickness of the sacrificial layer is 30 to 300 nm, preferably 50 to 150 nm, such as 100 nm; the small molecules in the small molecule film are selected from metal halides, such as lithium fluoride (LiF), lithium chloride (LiCl), silver fluoride (AgF), etc.; the polymer in the hydrolyzable or degradable polymer film is selected from any one of dextran (Glu), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyacrylamide (PAM) and polycarbonate (PC); preferably, the small molecule film is prepared by vacuum evaporation, and the evaporation rate is like The growth quality and thickness of the film can be effectively controlled by adjusting the evaporation rate and the evaporation time; the hydrolyzable or degradable polymer film is prepared by spin coating a polymer solution and then annealing; preferably, the solvent for preparing the hydrolyzable or degradable polymer solution can be any one of deionized water, tetrahydrofuran and chloroform; the concentration of the hydrolyzable or degradable polymer solution can be 10 mg / ml to 100 mg / ml; the spin coating speed for preparing the hydrolyzable or degradable polymer solution can be 3000 to 6000 r / min, and the spin coating time can be 40s to 1min; the annealing temperature for preparing the hydrolyzable or degradable polymer solution can be 40 to 200°C, and the quality and thickness of the film can be regulated and optimized by changing the solution concentration, the spin coating speed and the annealing temperature. The stretchable source and drain microelectrodes are transferred by mechanical stripping, thermal stripping or hydrolysis release, wherein the transfer method of the stretchable source and drain microelectrodes can be determined according to the degradation method of the sacrificial layer. For example, when a small molecule film is used, the stretchable source and drain microelectrodes only need to be transferred by mechanical stripping; when a small molecule film and a pyrolyzable polymer film are selected, the sacrificial layer and the microelectrode can be transferred together by thermal stripping or the sacrificial layer can be thermally degraded; when a hydrolyzable polymer film is selected, when the hydrolysis release method is used for transfer, only the microelectrode is transferred, and the sacrificial layer disappears by hydrolysis; no matter which method is used, the microelectrode can be transferred and integrated into the intrinsic stretchable device. In the present invention, the main functions of the sacrificial layer include: first, covering the unclean substrate surface caused by photolithography to ensure the integrity of the electrode during the stripping process; second, providing a higher surface energy to increase the adhesion of the stretchable electrode to the transfer layer, thereby assisting the transfer and facilitating the realization of lossless, complete and repeatable stretchable microelectrode array integration, and finally obtaining a high-density, micron-scale and easy-to-integrate stretchable electrode array. The present invention proposes a transferable interface strategy to prepare stretchable microelectrodes with high resolution, achieving the simultaneous improvement of micrometer-scale patterning, yield and universality of stretchable electrodes. Based on this stretchable microelectrode, the prepared high-density stretchable organic phototransistor array not only exhibits high sensitivity, low voltage and low dose X-ray detection capabilities, but also has high stretchability, device uniformity and operational stability.

[0083] According to the present invention, in step S2, the stretchable source and drain microelectrodes can be prepared by spraying or inkjet printing; the conductivity of the stretchable microelectrode can be effectively controlled by changing any one of the spraying speed, spraying amount, and spraying distance. The conductivity of the stretchable microelectrode is 5×10 3 S cm -1 ~5×10 5 S cm -1 , preferably 8×10 5 ~3×10 4 S cm -1For example, a silicon wafer with a evaporated sacrificial layer is placed on a hot stage at 120°C for 15 minutes, and then 2 mL of an isopropanol solution of carbon nanotubes P3-SWNT with a concentration of 0.3 mg / mL is extracted with a 5 mL pipette, and then evenly sprayed on the silicon wafer with a self-assembled molecular layer at a rate of 0.5 mL / min, wherein the distance between the spray gun nozzle and the silicon wafer is 12 cm, and then the part with the photoresist is peeled off with acetone ultrasonic cleaning, and a patterned silicon wafer with stretchable source and drain microelectrodes can be prepared.

[0084] According to the present invention, in step S3, taking the bottom gate top contact structure as an example, the stretchable substrate is first transferred from the substrate with the self-assembled molecular layer, and then the stretchable substrate is covered on the stretchable gate electrode by gently laminating from one side to the other side; then the stretchable gate electrode is transferred to the stretchable substrate by thermal lamination or room temperature lamination, and the bubbles generated at the interface during the lamination process are removed by vacuuming; then the same method is adopted to transfer the stretchable insulating layer and the stretchable polymer semiconductor layer to the stretchable substrate respectively; finally, the stretchable source and drain microelectrodes are transferred to the stretchable substrate by mechanical stripping, thermal stripping or hydrolysis release. Preferably, the thermal lamination process is carried out in a vacuum drying oven; the conditions of the thermal lamination are: the vacuum degree is 0.1 to 5 Pascals, the temperature during the heating treatment is 40 to 90°C, and the heating treatment time is 0.5 to 1 hour; for example, it is kept at 60°C for 30 minutes in a vacuum drying oven with a vacuum degree of 0.1 Pascal.

The detectable light band is X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light or near-infrared light, and the detectable light band can be adjusted by replacing semiconductor materials that absorb the corresponding band.

The examples provided below can be used as a guide for further improvements by those of ordinary skill in the art, and do not constitute a limitation of the present invention in any way.

The specific steps are as follows:

[0098] 7) The silicon wafer was ultrasonically cleaned with deionized water, acetone, and isopropanol for 6-7 minutes and dried with nitrogen. AZ5214 photoresist was spin-coated on the cleaned silicon wafer at a speed of 3000 rpm and annealed for 3 minutes, then placed under a photomask for UV exposure, and then developed and cleaned in sequence.
