Indium-doped zinc oxide nanocrystals (IZO NCs), capped with stearic acid (SA) of different sizes, were synthesized using a hot injection method in a noncoordinating solvent 1-octadecene (ODE). The ligand exchange process was employed to modify the surface of IZO NCs by replacing the longer-chain ligand of stearic acid with the shorter-chain ligand of butylamine (BA). It should be noted that the ligand-exchange percentage was observed to be 75%. The change of particle size, morphology, and crystal structures were obtained using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction pattern results. In our study, the 5 nm and 10 nm IZO NCs capped with stearic acid (SA-IZO) were ligand-exchanged with butylamine (BA), and were then spin-coated on a thermal oxide ($SiO_2$) gate insulator to fabricate a thin film transistor (TFT) device. The films were then annealed at various temperatures: $350^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, and $600^{\circ}C$. All samples showed semiconducting behavior and exhibited n-channel TFT. Curing temperature dependent on mobility was observed. Interestingly, mobility decreases with the increasing size of NCs from 5 to 10 nm. Miller-Abrahams hopping formalism was employed to explain the hopping mechanism insight our IZO NC films. By focusing on the effect of size, different curing temperatures, electron coupling, tunneling rate, and inter-NC separation, we found that the decrease in electron mobility for larger NCs was due to smaller electronic coupling.

We developed a high performance bottom contact, organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) array on plastic using a self-organized process. The effect of OTS treatment on the PVP gate insulator for the performance of OTFT on plastic has been studied The OTFT without OTS exhibited a field-effect mobility of 0.1 $cm^2$/Vs on/off current ratio of > $10^7$. On the other hand, OTFT with OTS, exhibited a field-effect mobility of 1.3 $cm^2$/Vs and on/off current ratio of>$10^8$.

In this paper we fabricated and succeeded to demonstrate a test panel for AMOLED on 2" glass and PET substrate. The test panel consisted of an array of 64 x 64 pixels in which OLEDs was driven by pentacene TFT. OTFTs were made of the inverted staggered structure and employed polyvinylphenol as the gate insulator and pentacene thin film as the active layer, producing the filed effect mobility of 0.3$cm^2$/V.sec and on/off current ratio of $10^5$. OLEDs were composed of TPD for HTL and Alq3 for EML with 35nm thick each, generating green monochrome light.

본 논문에서는 게이트 절연막인 poly(4-vinylphenol) (PVP) 용제 농도 변화에 따른 유기 박막 트랜지스터를 제작하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. PVP는 propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate(PGMEA) 와 poly melamine-co-formaldehyde (CLA)를 혼합하여 cross linked PVP를 만들어 사용하였다. Cross-liked PVP의 CLA 농도 비율을 각각 6 wt%, 9 wt%로 변화시켜 유기 박막 트랜지스터를 제작하고 소자의 전기적 특성을 분석 하였다.

We show that the electrical properties of organic thinfilm transistors(OTFTs) can be enhanced by controlling the morphology of interface between screen printed electrodes and gate dielectrics. Modified surface of the insulator layer($SiO_2$) affect on the interface energy of electrode on $SiO_2$ layer. Contact angle measurement and FT-IR spectrum shows that the interface is properly modified. OTFTs device with high efficiency has been realized through modification of interface layer.

Electrical characteristics of Large-grain silicon with Ni-induced crystallization which gate insulator is made of 80 nm $SiO_2$ and 20 nm SiNx was fabricated and measured with different channel widths, channel length fixed $10{\mu}m$. Focusing on the changes of channel widths from $4{\mu}m$ to $40{\mu}m$. Field-effect mobility decreased from 111.30 to $94.10\;cm^2/V_s$ when the channel widths increased. Still threshold voltage was almost similar with -1.06V.

In this work the electrical characteristics of organic TFTs using organic insulator and flexible polyester substrate have been investigated. Pentacene and PVP(polyvinylphenol) are used as an active semiconducting layer and dielectric layer respectively. Pentacene was thermally evaporated in vacuum at a pressure of about $1{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr and at a deposition rate of $0.5{\AA}$/sec, and PVP was spin-coated. Aluminium and gold were used for gate and source/drain electrodes. 0.1mm thick flexible polyester substrate was used instead of glass or silicon wafer.

The new technologies in mobile display developed in SEC are briefly reviewed. For a differentiation, SEC's LTPS line is based on SLS (Sequential Lateral Solidification) technology. In this paper, the characteristics of SEC's SLS in recent and future mobile displays were discussed. The microstructure produced by SLS crystallization is dependent on SLS process conditions such as mask design, laser energy density, and pulse duration time. The microstructure and TFT (Thin Film Transistor) performance are closely related. For an optimization of TFT performance, SLS process condition should be adjusted. Other fabrication processes except crystallization such as blocking layer, gate insulator deposition and cleaning also affect TFT performance. Optimized process condition and tailoring mask design can make it possible to produce high quality AMOLED devices. The TFT non-uniformity caused by laser energy density fluctuation could be successfully diminished by mixing technology.

In this paper, the p-channel poly Si thin-film transistors (Poly-Si TFT's) using formed by solid phase crystallization (SPC) on glass substrate were fabricated. And we propose an ONO(Oxide-Nitride-Oxide) multilayer as the gate insulator for poly-Si TFT's to indicate non-volatile memory (NVM) effect. Poly-Si TFT is investigated by measuring the electrical properties of poly-Si films, such as I-V characteristics, on/off current ratio. NVM characteristics is showed by measuring the threshold voltage change of TFT through I-V characteristics.

Prototype MFSFET′s using ferroelectric oxide LiNbO$_3$ as a gate insulator have been successfully fabricated with the help of 2 sheets of metal masks and demonstrated nonvolatile memory operations of the MFSFET′s. The estimated field-effect electron mobility and transconductance on a linear region of the fabricated FET were 600 $\textrm{cm}^2$/V.s and 0.16 mS/mm, respectively. The drain current of the "on" state was more than 4 orders of magnitude larger than the "off" state current at the same "read" gate voltage of 0.5 V, which means the memory operation of the MFSFET. A write voltage as low as $\pm$3 V, which is applicable to low power integrate circuits, was used for polarization reversal.
