Transfer printing methods are used to pattern and assemble monolithic carbon nanotube (CNT) thin-film transistors on large-area transparent, flexible substrates. Airbrushed CNT thin-films with sheet resistance 1 kΩ sq−1 at 80% transparency were used as electrodes, and high quality chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown CNT networks were used as the semiconductor component. Transfer printing was used to pre-pattern and assemble thin film transistors on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates which incorporated Al2O3/poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA) dielectric bi-layer. CNT-based ambipolar devices exhibit field-effect mobility in range 1–33 cm2/V s and on/off ratio ∼103, comparable to the control devices fabricated using Au as the electrode material.
