We were succeeded to prepare SiO2 thin film from the silazane by low temperature solution process. This process enables to fabricate the SiO2 thin film with good quality at low temperature below 100 ºC. So it is easily prepared on a flexible plastic sheet with no thermal damage (picture). The organic thin film transistor (OTFT) using the solution processed SiO2 thin film as a gate insulator was comparable to that using thermally oxidized SiO2 thin film, indicating that the solution processed SiO2 thin film was such useful for the gate insulator of OTFT as the thermally oxidized SiO2 thin film.
