This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project aims to develop a photoresist system that is compatible with a much wider range of materials than traditional photoresists, allowing for the patterning of advanced semiconducting polymers and small molecules on existing photolithographic equipment. Through Phase I project, Orthogonal has improved its fluorinated photoresist system by making two new materials with lower manufacturing cost and enhanced performance. In this Phase II project, the patterning of the widely used conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) and similar acidic materials will be studied. Multiple approaches will be taken to continuously improve the performance of the new photoresist materials. The scalability of one or both photoresist materials to large quantities will be investigated by addressing the major issues that may be challenging to the scale-up, including dealing with heat generation and finding a suitable initiator.The broader/commercial impacts of this project will be the potential to enable the large-scale manufacturing of organic electronic devices by leveraging the existing photolithographic infrastructure currently used in the industry. The availability of the new photoresist materials in large quantities and consistent quality will help meet the performance and volume demands of organic electronic industry, which is expected to grow rapidly once a scalable and high-yield manufacturing technique is available.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）II期项目旨在开发一种与传统光吸师相比兼容材料范围更广泛的光构师系统，从而使高级半导体聚合物和现有光载设备上的小分子具有图案。通过第一阶段项目，正交通过制造两种新材料，具有较低的制造成本和增强的性能，从而改善了其氟化的光仓系统。在此II期项目中，将研究广泛使用的导电聚合物聚合物聚合物聚合物聚合物聚合物聚合物聚合物：聚（苯乙烯磺酸）（PEDOT：PSS）和类似的酸性材料。将采用多种方法来不断提高新的光震材材料的性能。通过解决可能对扩展的主要问题，包括处理热量并找到合适的启动器的主要问题，将研究一种或两种光孔材料对大量的可伸缩性。该项目的更广泛/商业影响将有可能通过在现有的现有基金中使用当前使用的现有光学基金来实现大规模制造有机电子设备的大规模制造。新的光孔材料的可用性大量和一致的质量将有助于满足有机电子工业的性能和数量需求，一旦有了可扩展且高收益的制造技术，预计该行业将迅速增长。
