Abstract

We report on the fabrication and demonstration of fully printed ferroelectric capacitors using poly(vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene) [P(VDF–TrFE)]. The printed ferroelectric capacitors were primarily fabricated by ink-jet printing on a thin plastic film substrate. The annealing process for the P(VDF–TrFE) layer was optimized from the viewpoints of surface morphology and crystallinity. A good ferroelectric polarization–electric field loop and piezoelectricity in the P(VDF–TrFE) were achieved for the printed ferroelectric capacitors. We have succeeded in the detection of a weak pressure of 150 mbar using the printed ferroelectric capacitor, which is an indication of a potential application to health-care biosensors. These results were realized by the optimization of the annealing temperature for the P(VDF–TrFE) layer.
