초록

용액공정을 통해 유기 전자소자를 대면적으로 제조하는 것은 다양한 장치 구성 요소(반도체, 절연체, 도체)의 패터닝 및 적층이 필요하기 때문에 매우 어려운 과제이다. 본 연구에서는 4개의 광 가교 기능기를 가지는 3차원 사면체 가교제인 (2,2-bis(((4-azido-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoyl)oxy)methyl)propane-1,3-diyl bis(4-azido-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoate) (4Bx)를 활용하여 용액공정을 기반으로 형성된 전자재료 박막을 고해상도로 패터닝 및 적층하는 기술을 개발하고, 이를 사용하여 고분자 박막 트랜지스터(PTFTs) 및 논리회로 어레이 제작을 진행하였다. 4Bx는 다양한 용액공정이 가능한 전자재료와 용매에 쉽게 혼합될 수 있으며, 자외선(UV)에 의해 가교제가 광 활성화되어 전자재료와 가교 결합을 형성할 수 있다. 4Bx는 기존의 2개의 광 가교 기능기를 갖는 가교제에 비해 높은 가교 효율로 인해 적은 양을 첨가하여도 완전하게 가교된 전자재료 박막을 형성할 수 있어 전자재료의 고유한 특성을 보존할 수 있다. 더욱이, 가교된 전자재료 박막은 화학적 내구성이 향상되어 고해상도 미세 패터닝을 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 용액공정을 통해 전자소자를 구성하는 전자재료의 적층이 가능하다. 4Bx의 광 가교 방법은 전용액공정을 통한 전자소자의 제작에 대한 혁신적인 방안을 제시한다.
