Abstract

Silicon nanowires (Si NWs)-based top-gate field-effect transistors (FETs) are constructed by using Si NWs transferred onto flexible plastic substrates. Si NWs are obtained from the silicon wafers using photolithography and anisotropic etching process, and transferred onto flexible plastic substrates. To evaluate the electrical performance of the silicon nanowires, we examined the output and transfer characteristics of a top-gate field-effect transistor with a channel composed of a silicon nanowire selected from the nanowires on the plastic substrate. From these FETs, a field-effect mobility and transconductance are evaluated to be $47\;cm^2/Vs$ and 272 nS, respectively.
