Abstract

A method for fabricating a device with a flexible substrate includes providing a rigid substrate at first. Next, an interfacing layer can be formed on the rigid substrate, and then a flexible substrate is directly formed on the interfacing layer. The flexible substrate fully contacts the interfacing layer. A device structure is then formed on the flexible substrate.

Claims (13)

1. A method for fabricating a device with a flexible substrate, the method comprising:

providing a rigid substrate;

forming an interfacing layer on the rigid substrate;

directly forming the flexible substrate on the interfacing layer, wherein the flexible substrate fully contacts the interfacing layer;

forming a device structure on the flexible substrate; and

stripping the flexible substrate with the device structure from the rigid substrate, wherein the interfacing layer remains on the rigid substrate.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of stripping the flexible substrate from the rigid substrate comprises:

directly stripping the flexible substrate from the interfacing layer, wherein a material of the flexible substrate is polymer, allowing stripping the flexible substrate from the interface layer.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a material of the flexible substrate is poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PMDS), PI, PES, PEN, PET, PC, and these derivatives.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the device structure comprises an organic semiconductor device structure or an inorganic semiconductor device structure.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the device structure comprises an organic thin film transistor.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the flexible substrate is formed on the rigid substrate by performing a coating process.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the step of forming the device structure further comprises forming a protection layer between the device structure and the flexible substrate.
