Lately, printed oxide electronics have advanced in the performance and low-temperature solution processability that are required for the dawn of low-cost flexible applications. However, some of the remaining limitations need to be surpassed without compromising the device electronic performance and operational stability. The printing of a highly stable ultra-thin high-kappa aluminum-oxide dielectric with a high-throughput (50 m min(-1)) flexographic printing is accomplished while simultaneously demonstrating low-temperature processing (<= 200 degrees C). Thermal annealing is combined with low-wavelength far-ultraviolet exposure and the electrical, chemical, and morphological properties of the printed dielectric films are studied. The high-kappa dielectric exhibits a very low leakage-current density (10(-10) A cm(-2)) at 1 MV cm(-1), a breakdown field higher than 1.75 MV cm(-1), and a dielectric constant of 8.2 (at 1 Hz frequency). Printed indium oxide transistors are fabricated using the optimized dielectric and they achieve a mobility up to 2.83 +/- 0.59 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), a subthreshold slope <80 mV dec(-1), and a current ON/OFF ratio >10(6). The flexible devices reveal enhanced operational stability with a negligible shift in the electrical parameters after ageing, bias, and bending stresses. The present work lifts printed oxide thin film transistors a step closer to the flexible applications of future electronics.
