Abstract: Printable inks based on a 2D semiconductor, such as MoS2, and its applications in fully inkjet-printed optoelectronic devices are disclosed. Specifically, percolating films of MoS2 nanosheets with superlative electrical conductivity (10-2 s m?1) are achieved by tailoring the ink formulation and curing conditions. Based on an ethyl cellulose dispersant, the MoS2 nanosheet ink also offers exceptional viscosity tunability, colloidal stability, and printability on both rigid and flexible substrates. Two distinct classes of photodetectors are fabricated based on the substrate and post-print curing method. While thermal annealing of printed devices on rigid glass substrates leads to a fast photoresponse of 150 ?s, photonically annealed devices on flexible polyimide substrates possess high photoresponsivity exceeding 50 mA/W.

Abstract: An organic substrate that has one or more layers. Each of the layers is made of one or more sub-patterns of conductive material disposed on a non-conductive material. The layers are divided into one or more tile subareas. A corresponding layer pair has a corresponding upper layer (with corresponding upper tile subareas) and a corresponding lower layer (with corresponding lower tile subareas) that are equidistant from and symmetric about a reference plane. Each corresponding upper tile subarea and the corresponding lower tile subarea are in a same vertical projection. A symmetric upper (lower) layout on the corresponding upper (lower) tile subarea replaces an original corresponding upper (lower) layer. The symmetric upper and lower layouts have one or more upper portions that have no electrical function but are partly responsible for making the symmetric lower layout and symmetric upper layout more thermo-mechanically symmetric and help reduce warp.
