Abstract

We applied die-coating process to making thin films on plastic-tape substrates in order to enable continuous, high speed fabrication for textile integration. A high coating speed of 20 m/min was successfully attained in the formation of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methylester (PCBM) and poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) layers on polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates, for the first time to the best of our knowledge. In order to confirm that those layers can be applied to devices, we fabricated PET/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/Al photovoltaic thin-film devices (width: 5 mm). Film was woven at an interval of 7 mm to form the sheet sample with the dimension of 120 mm × 120 mm. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the active part of the devices were confirmed.
