Paper Title
The Pattern of Improved Polymer Through Plasma Process
Abstract
The highly conductive polymer, named poly(3,4-ethlyenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesolfonate) (PEDOT:PSS),
is investigated by using oxygen plasma (O2-plasma) to pattern a successful thin film. However, the characteristics of
PEDOT:PSS thin film are improved through heating-stirred method (HS-M) and formic acid treatment (FA-T). The sheet
resistance (Rs), surface roughness (Rq) and transmittance of PEDOT:PSS show the superb result of 43 Ω/square, 2 nm and
80 %, respectively. And the effective pattern of PEDOT:PSS has excellent electrical performance via O2-plasma process to
become the useful electrode.
