Tunable 3D Aerosol Jet Printing of Low‐Power Redox‐Gated Transistors with Multicomponent Inks

Abstract Printed hybrid electronics (PHE) offer a promising alternative for microelectronics fabrication, addressing some limitations of traditional subtractive manufacturing. Despite the versatility of PHE, particularly in the customization of printing inks, these devices have not yet matched the performance of silicon‐based electronics due to challenges in gating mechanisms and operational stability. However, the potential of low‐voltage redox‐gating to achieve significant carrier modulations in correlated metal oxides remains unexplored in PHE. This study systematically investigates vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) nanoparticles and redox inks, linking their organization in solution to their morphology, phase state, and properties in solid films and multilayered structures. Using an aerosol jet printer (AJP), a solid‐state VO 2 transistor is fabricated, operating at just 0.4 V gating voltage. The printed VO 2 films demonstrate redox‐modulated conductivity and consistent transistor behavior. The solid‐state redox gating materials also provide long‐term stability, with the device maintaining performance over 6000 cycles without degradation. These results highlight the potential of redox gating to enhance the application of functional nanoparticles in printed hybrid microelectronics, especially for flexible, low‐voltage, and energy‐efficient devices.

Abstract

Abstract Printed hybrid electronics (PHE) offer a promising alternative for microelectronics fabrication, addressing some limitations of traditional subtractive manufacturing. Despite the versatility of PHE, particularly in the customization of printing inks, these devices have not yet matched the performance of silicon‐based electronics due to challenges in gating mechanisms and operational stability. However, the potential of low‐voltage redox‐gating to achieve significant carrier modulations in correlated metal oxides remains unexplored in PHE. This study systematically investigates vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) nanoparticles and redox inks, linking their organization in solution to their morphology, phase state, and properties in solid films and multilayered structures. Using an aerosol jet printer (AJP), a solid‐state VO 2 transistor is fabricated, operating at just 0.4 V gating voltage. The printed VO 2 films demonstrate redox‐modulated conductivity and consistent transistor behavior. The solid‐state redox gating materials also provide long‐term stability, with the device maintaining performance over 6000 cycles without degradation. These results highlight the potential of redox gating to enhance the application of functional nanoparticles in printed hybrid microelectronics, especially for flexible, low‐voltage, and energy‐efficient devices.
