Amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are fabricated on flexible organic polymer foil substrates. As-fabricated performance, electrical bias-stability at elevated temperatures, electrical response under mechanical flexing, and prolonged mechanical stability of the TFTs are studied. TFTs made on plastic at ultra low process temperatures of $150^{\circ}C$ show initial electrical performance like TFTs made on glass but large gate-bias stress instability. An abnormal saturation of the instability against operation temperature is observed.

Amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) with a coplanar structure were fabricated to investigate the feasibility of their potential application in large size organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Drain currents, used as functions of the gate voltages for the TFTs, showed the output currents had slight differences in the saturation region, just as the output currents of the etch stopper TFTs did. The maximum difference in the threshold voltages of the In-Ga-Zn-O (a-IGZO) TFTs was as small as approximately 0.57 V. After the application of a positive bias voltage stress for 50,000 s, the values of the threshold voltage of the coplanar structure TFTs were only slightly shifted, by 0.18 V, indicative of their stability. The coplanar structure TFTs were embedded in OLEDs and exhibited a maximum luminance as large as 500 nits, and their color gamut satisfied 99 % of the digital cinema initiatives, confirming their suitability for large size and high resolution OLEDs. Further, the image density of large-size OLEDs embedded with the coplanar structure TFTs was significantly enhanced compared with OLEDs embedded with conventional TFTs.

We analysed interfacial traps in organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) in which pentacene and 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)-pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) organic semiconductors were deposited by means of vacuum-thermal evaporation and drop-coating methods, respectively. The thermally-deposited pentacene film consists of dentritic grains with the average grain size of around 1 m, while plate-like crystals over a few hundred microns are observed in the solution-processed TIPS-pentacene film. From the transfer characteristics of both TFTs, lower subthreshold slope of 1.02 V/decade was obtained in the TIPS-pentacene TFT, compared to that (2.63 V/decade) of the pentacene transistor. The interfacial trap density values calculated from the subthreshold slope are about $3.4{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ and $9.4{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ for the TIPS-pentacene and pentacene TFTs, respectively. Herein, lower subthreshold slope and less interfacial traps in TIPS-pentacene TFTs are attributed to less domain boundaries in the solution-processed TIPS-pentacene film.

유기 박막 트랜지스터 (organic thin-film transistors; OTFTs)는 유기 반도체 그리고 디스플레이와 같은 분야에 그들의 잠재적인 응용 가능성 때문에 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 하지만 급격한 산화 혹은 낮은 전기 이동도와 같은 단점으로 인하여 n-형 물질은 p-형 물질에 비해서 상대적으로 많은 연구가 진행되지 못한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 n-형 반도체 물질인 [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyricacidmethylester (PCBM)과 Poly(4-vinylphenol) (PVP)을 유기 절연막으로 이용하여 o-dichlorobenzene, toluene and chloroform과 같은 다양한 유기 용매를 사용한 플라스틱 기판에 유기트랜지스터를 제작하였고 유기 용매가 ODCB 경우 전계 효과 이동도는 약 0.034 $cm^2/Vs$ 그리고 점멸비(on/off ratio)는 ${\sim}1.3{\times}10^5$ 으로 향상 되었다. 다양한 유기 용매의 휘발성에 따라서 PCBM TFT의 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다.

In this work, the electrical characteristics of organic thin film transistors with the surface-treated organic gate insulators have been studied. For the surface treatment, the simple rubbing technique was used. The field effect mobilities of the devices with PVP gate insulator was improved about four times as high as those of TFTs without the insulator surface treatment.

In this study, the effects of soft baking temperature on the solution derived ZTO (Zn-Sn-O) TFTs (thin-film transistors) as a In-free oxide semiconductor were investigated. In spite of the same hard baking at high temperature($600^{\circ}C$), the electrical properties of ZTO TFT was greatly changed by a small difference in soft baking temperature($180{\sim}250^{\circ}C$). The performance of TFT was deteriorated as the soft baking temperature increased. Therefore, it is important to remove the water-related defects well as organic impurities from the ZTO films during soft baking for fabrication of solution-derived high performance of TFTs.

There is currently considerable interest in the applications of conjugated polymers, oligomers and small molecules for thin-film electronic devices. Organic materials have potential advantages to be utilized as semiconductors in field effect transistor and light emitting didoes. In this study, Pentacene thin film transistors(TFTs) were fabricated on glass substrate. Aluminum and Gold wei\ulcorner used fur the gate and source/drain electrodes. Silicon dioxde was deposited as a gate insulator by PECVD and patterned by R.I.E. The semiconductor layer of pentacene was thermally evaporated in vaccum at a pressure of about 10$^{-8}$ Torr and a deposition rate 0.3$\AA$/sec. The fabricated devices exhibited the field-effect mobility as large as 0.07cm$^2$/Vs and on/off current ratio larger than 10$^{7}$

The device performance of ZnO-thin film transistors(ZnO-TFTs) with gate dielectrics of $SiO_2,\;SiN_x$ and Polyvinylphenol(PVP) having a bottom gate configuration were investigated. ZnO-TFTs can induce high device performance with low intrinsic carrier concentration of ZnO only by controlling gas flow rates without additional doping or annealing processes. The field effect mobility and on/off ratio of ZnO-TFTs with $SiN_x$ were $20.2cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}\;and\;5{\times}10^6$ respectively which is higher than those previously reported. The device adoptable values of the mobility of $1.37cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and the on/off ratio of $6{\times}10^3$ were evaluated from the device with organic PVP dielectric.

Hybrid insulator pentacene thin film transistors (TFTs) are fabricated with thermally grown oxide and cross-linked polyvinylalcohol (PVA) including surface treatment by dilute ploymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) layer on $n^+$ doped silicon wafer. Through the optimization of $SiO_2$ layer thickness in hybrid insulator structure, carrier mobility is increased to more than 35 times than that of the TFT which has only a gate insulator of $SiO_2$ at the same electric field. The carrier mobility of $1.80cm^2$/V-s, subthreshold swing of 1.81 V/decade, and $I_{on}/I_{off}$ current ratio> $1.10{\times}10^5$ are obtained less than -30 V bias condition. The result is one of the best reported performances of pentacene TFTs with hybrid insulator including cross-linked PVA layer as a gate insulator at relatively low voltage operation.

The tunable electronic performance of the solution-processed semiconductor metal oxide is of great significance for the printing electronics. In current work, transparent thin-film transistors (TFTs) with indium-zinc oxide (IZO) were fabricated as active layer by a simple eco-friendly aqueous route. The aqueous precursor solution is composed of water without any other organic additives and the IZO films are amorphous revealed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD). With systematic studies of atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and the semiconductor property characterizations, it was revealed that the electrical performance of the IZO TFTs is dependent on the concentration of precursor solution. As well, the optimum preparation process was obtained. The concentrations induced the regulation of the electronic performance was clearly demonstrated with a proposed mechanism. The results are expected to be beneficial for development of solution-processed metal oxide TFTs.
