Provided are a three-dimensional electronic device manufactured through a polymer frame solvent-plasticizing process and a method for manufacturing the three-dimensional electronic device including a polymer frame configured to have a planar figure-like shape so as to have a polygonal bottom and adjacent surfaces which are formed to be extended from respective edges of the bottom; and a flexible electronic device which is transferred to the polymer frame. The polymer frame is exposed to organic solvent vapor and has a change in Young's modulus.

Three-dimensional electronic device through organic solvent plasticization process of polymer frame, and method for manufacturing same

Disclosed herein is a transfer printing technology. A transfer printing substrate includes a plurality of pillar structures and a sacrificial layer applied thereon. In situ alignment of a transfer layer is performed by the pillar structures and a structural confinement by a concave structure formed on a bottom surface of the transfer layer corresponding to the pillar structures, or a chemical bond of the pillar structure and the transfer layer. In the in situ alignment by the structural confinement, the remaining sacrificial layer after being removed may serve as an adhesive component. The transfer process is performed by a separation of the bond by the sacrificial layer, a cutting of the pillar structures in the chemic bonding state of the pillar structures and the transfer layer, or a separation of the bond between the pillar structures and the handling substrate.

Transfer printing substrate

The present disclosure provides a method for fabricating a substrate for transfer printing using a concave-convex structure and a substrate for transfer printing fabricated thereby. The method includes preparing a handling substrate having a concave-convex structure formed thereon; forming a sacrificial layer along the concave-convex structure on the handling substrate; coating a polymer on the handling substrate having the sacrificial layer formed thereon to form a polymer substrate having bumps filling a concave portion of the concave-convex structure; and removing the sacrificial layer from the handling substrate. The substrate for transfer printing includes a handling substrate having a concave-convex structure formed thereon; and a polymer substrate placed on the concave-convex structure and having bumps filling a concave portion of the concave-convex structure of the handling substrate. The present invention allows a process of manufacturing a device to be stably performed on an ultrathin substrate and may secure high degree of alignment and high transfer yield in a transfer printing process.
