We fabricated organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based a fluorinated copper phthalocyanine ($F_{16}CuPc$) as an active layer. And we observed the surface morphology of the $F_{16}CuPc$ thin film. The $F_{16}CuPc$ thin film thickness was 40nm, and the channel length was $50{\mu}m$, channel width was 3mm. We observed the typical current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and capacitance-voltage (C-V) in $F_{16}CuPc$ FET and we calculated the effective mobility.

An accurate and efficient single-integral semi-numerical model is developed and applied to analyse effects of localized electronic states in the mobility gap on the drain-current versus gale-voltage characteristics of hydrogenated amorphous field-effect transistors. It is shown that the low-density deep-gap states distributed in the midgap also sensitively and largely influence the device electronic performance as well as well as the large-density tail states distributed near the conduction band edge.

The properties of oriented poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) in field effect transistors (FETs) have been investigated through mechanical stretching process as the original. Silicon-based FETs shown high mobility of $0.02\;cm^2/V$ s after thermal treatment and $0.0092\;cm^2/V$ s at r.t. PET-based FETs were expected to show a similar performance in mobility to that of silicon-based FETs.

Mobility reduction parameters are extracted using a method based on the exploitatiion of Id-Vg and Gm-Vg characteristics of short channel n-MOSFETs in strong inversion region at room temperature. It is found that the reduction of the maximum field effect mobility, \ulcornerFE,max, with the channel length is due to i) the difference between the threshold voltage and the gate voltage which corresponds to the maximum transconductance, and ii) the channel length dependence of the mobility attenuation coefficient, \ulcorner The low field mobility, \ulcorner, is found to be independent of the channel length down to 0.25 \ulcorner ofeffective channel length. Also, the channel length reduction, -I, the mobility attenuation coefficient, \ulcorner the threshold voltage, Vt, and the source-drain resistance, Rsd, are determined from the Id-Vg and -gm-Vg characteristics n-MOSFETs.

We designed and fabricated aluminium gallium nitride (AlGaN)/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with stable reverse blocking characteristics established by employing a selective fluoride plasma treatment on the drainside gate edge region where the electric field is concentrated. Implanted fluoride ions caused a depolarization in the AlGaN layer and introduced an extra depletion region. The overall contour of the depletion region was expanded along the drift region. The expanded depletion region distributed the field more uniformly and reduced the field intensity peak. Through this field modulation, the leakage current was reduced to 9.3 nA and the breakdown voltage ($V_{BR}$) improved from 900 V to 1,400 V.

Oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) have attracted considerable interest for gate diver and pixel switching devices of the active matrix (AM) liquid crystal display (LCD) and organic light emitting diode (OLED) display because of their high field effect mobility, transparency in visible light region, and low temperature processing below $300^{\circ}C$. Recently, oxide TFTs with polycrystalline In-Ga-O(IGO) channel layer reported by Ebata. et. al. showed a amazing field effect mobility of $39.1cm^2/Vs$. The reason having high field effect mobility of IGO TFTs is because $In_2O_3$ has a bixbyite structure in which linear chains of edge sharing InO6 octahedral are isotropic. In this work, we investigated the characteristics and the effects of oxygen partial pressure significantly changed the IGO thin-films and IGO TFTs transfer characteristics. IGO thin-film were fabricated by rf-magnetron sputtering with different oxygen partial pressure ($O_2/(Ar+O_2)$, $Po_2$)ratios. IGO thin film Varies depending on the oxygen partial pressure of 0.1%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 10% have been some significant changes in the electrical characteristics. Also the IGO TFTs VTH value conspicuously shifted in the positive direction, from -8 to 11V as the $Po_2$ increased from 1% to 10%. At $Po_2$ was 5%, IGO TFTs showed a high drain current on/off ratio of ${\sim}10^8$, a field-effect mobility of $84cm^2/Vs$, a threshold voltage of 1.5V, and a subthreshold slpe(SS) of 0.2V/decade from log(IDS) vs VGS.

Understanding charge transport anisotropy at the interface of conjugated nanostructures basically gives insight into structure-property relationship in organic field-effect transistors (OFET). Here, the anisotropy of the field-effect mobility at the interface between 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) single crystal with cofacial molecular stacks in a-b basal plane and SiO gate dielectric was investigated. A solvent exchange method has been used in order for TIPS-pentacene single crystals to be grown on the surface of SiO₂ thin film, corresponding to the charge accumulation at the interface in OFET structure. In TIPS-pentacene OFET, the anisotropy ratio between the highest and lowest measured mobility is revealed to be 5.2. By analyzing the interaction of a conjugated unit in TIPS-pentacene with the nearest neighbor units, the mobility anisotropy can be rationalized by differences in HOMO-level coupling and hopping routes of charge carriers. The theoretical estimation of anisotropy based on HOMO-level coupling is also consistent with the experimental result.

Organic thin film transitors(TFTs) are of interest for use in broad area electronic applications. For example, in active matrix liquid crystal displays(AMLCDs), organic TFTs would allow the use of inexpensive, light-weight, flexible, and mechanically rugged plastic substrates as an alternative to the glass substrates needed for commonly used hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H). Recently pentacene TFTs with carrier field effect, mobility as large as 2 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ have been reported for TFTs fabricated on silicon substrates, and it is higher than that of a-Si:H. But these TFTs are fabricated on silicon wafer and $SiO_2$ was used as a gate insulator. $SiO_2$ deposition process requires a high insulator which is polyimide and photo acryl. We investigated trasfer and output characteristics of the thin film transistors having active layer of pentacene. We calculated field effect mobility and on/off ratio from transfer characteristics of pentacene thin film transistor, and measured IR absorption spectrum of polymide used as the gate dielectric layer. It was found that using the photo acryl as a gate insulator, threshold voltage decreased from -12.5 V to -7 V, field effect mobility increased from 0.012 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ to 0.039 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ , and on/off current ratio increased from $10^5\;to\;10^6$. It seems that TFTs using photo acryl gate insulator is apt to form channel than TFTs using polyimide gate insulator.

We fabricated a single crystal silicon thin film transistor for active matrix organic light emitting displays(AMOLEDs) using silicon on insulator wafer (SOI wafer). Poly crystal silicon thin film transistor(poly-Si TFT) Is actively researched and developed nowsdays for a pixel switching devices of AMOLEDs. However, poly-Si TFT has some disadvantages such as high off-state leakage currents and low field-effect mobility due to a trap of grain boundary in active channel. While single crystal silicon TFT has many advantages such as high field effect mobility, low off-state leakage currents, low power consumption because of the low threshold voltage and simultaneous integration of driving ICs on a substrate. In our experiment, we compared the property of poly-Si TFT with that of SOI TFT. Poly-Si TFT exhibited a field effect mobility of 34 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vs, an off-state leakage current of about l${\times}$10$\^$-9/ A at the gate voltage of 10 V, a subthreshold slope of 0.5 V/dec and on/off ratio of 10$\^$-4/, a threshold voltage of 7.8 V. Otherwise, single crystal silicon TFT on SOI wafer exhibited a field effect mobility of 750 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vs, an off-state leakage current of about 1${\times}$10$\^$-10/ A at the gate voltage of 10 V, a subthreshold slope of 0.59 V/dec and on/off ratio of 10$\^$7/, a threshold voltage of 6.75 V. So, we observed that the properties of single crystal silicon TFT using SOI wafer are better than those of Poly Si TFT. For the pixel driver in AMOLEDs, the best suitable pixel driver is single crystal silicon TFT using SOI wafer.

A-Si:H and poly-Si TFT characteristics were investigated using an inverted staggered type TFT. The poly-Si films were achieved by various anneal techniques ; isothermal, RTA, and excimer laser anneal. The TFT on as-grown a-Si:H exhibited a low field effect mobility, transconductance, and high gate threshold voltage. Some films were annealed at temperatures from $200^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$. The TFT on poly-Si showed an improved $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio of $10^6$, reduced gate threshold voltage, and increased field effect mobility by three orders. Inverter operation was examined to verify logic circuit application using the poly-Si TFTs.
