Descrizione
Sustainable organic electronics requires low thermal budget processing together with bio-derived functional materials. We report a hybrid dielectric platform combining low-temperature (80 °C) atomic layer deposited Al₂O₃ with silk fibroin, a naturally derived protein, for low-voltage organic field-effect transistors on flexible PEN substrates. We compare ultrathin silk fibroin interfacial layers with conventional PMMA as a benchmark, and discuss the correlation between interface engineering, semiconductor morphology and device characteristics under flat and bent conditions. Attention is given to the continuity of the fibroin films on low-temperature ALD oxide, to the resulting low-voltage operation, leakage, mobility and bending stability down to 5 mm radius, and to the absence of any post-deposition annealing requirement for as-cast fibroin. The demonstrated compatibility with thermally sensitive flexible substrates indicates a route toward bio-based and eco-compatible substrate technologies for sustainable organic electronics.
