Abstract

We have printed Metal-Insulator-Metal Diodes onto flexible substrates using hybrid polymer and metal-metal oxide inks. Successful device structures were printed by means of several processes including 1] a two step process of Ta in polymer matrix with thermally grown oxide followed by printed Cr in polymer and 2] a one step process of pre-oxidized Ta microparticles in polymer. Back-to-back diode I-V characteristics were demonstrated with tunable turn-on voltages between 5V and 100V. Coupled with a fully printable bistable, electronically addressable electrophoretic ink which we have developed, such systems open the way for all printed, reflective, bistable electronic displays.
