Stable organic thin-film transistors

Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) can be fabricated at moderate temperatures and through cost-effective solution-based processes on a wide range of low-cost flexible and deformable substrates. Although the charge mobility of state-of-the-art OTFTs is superior to that of amorphous silicon and approaches that of amorphous oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs), their operational stability general...

Stability of Amorphous Silicon Thin Film Transistors and Circuits

iHydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistors (a-Si:H TFTs) have been widely used forthe active-matrix addressing of flat panel displays, optical scanners and sensors. Extending theapplication of the a-Si TFTs from switches to current sources, which requires continuousoperation such as for active-matrix organic light-emitting-diode (AMOLED) pixels, makesstability a c...

Silicon for thin-film transistors

We are standing at the beginning of the industrialization of flexible thin-film transistor (TFT) backplanes. The two important research directions for the TFTs are (i) processability on flexible substrates and (ii) sufficient field-effect mobilities of electrons and holes to support complementary metal insulator semiconductor operation. The most important group of TFT capable semiconductors are...
