    A simple method to fabricate flexible, mechanically robust, and reusable SU-8 shadow masks is demonstrated. This shadow mask technology has high pattern flexibility as various shapes with different dimensions can be created. The fabricated shadow masks are characterized in terms of the resolution, reusability, and capability of multilayer surface micropatterning. Fabrication of a new plastic photomask for the exposure process simplifies the shadow mask fabrication process and results in higher resolution in the shadow mask structures compared to the commercial chromium photomasks. For the multilayer surface micropatterning technology, a simple and fast alignment technique based on SU-8 pillars and without usage of any microscopic tools is reported. This unique method leads to a less complicated alignment process with the alignment accuracy of ≈2 µm. The proposed shadow mask technology can be easily employed for wafer-scale micropatterning process. The capability of fabricated SU-8 shadow masks in micropatterning on polymer thin films is evaluated by fabricating metallic contacts on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) samples and electrical characterization. © 2019 The Authors.

    Charge transport in organic nanocrystal diodes based on rolled-up robust nanomembrane contacts
    (Frankfurt, M. : Beilstein-Institut zur Förderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2017-6-19) Bandari, Vineeth Kumar; Varadharajan, Lakshmi; Xu, Longqian; Jalil, Abdur Rehman; Devarajulu, Mirunalini; Siles, Pablo F.; Zhu, Feng; Schmidt, Oliver G.
    The investigation of charge transport in organic nanocrystals is essential to understand nanoscale physical properties of organic systems and the development of novel organic nanodevices. In this work, we fabricate organic nanocrystal diodes contacted by rolled-up robust nanomembranes. The organic nanocrystals consist of vanadyl phthalocyanine and copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine heterojunctions. The temperature dependent charge transport through organic nanocrystals was investigated to reveal the transport properties of ohmic and space-charge-limited current under different conditions, for instance, temperature and bias
