Structural morphology, annealing behavior and dielectric properties of polyaniline-emeraldine base (Pani-EB) and poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) thin films prepared by spin coating technique have been studied. MIM and MISM structures were used to investigate annealing and dielectric behavior. The XRD and AFM spectrum of as grown and annealed thin films indicates the amorphous nature. The observed amorphous phase, low loss, dielectric behavior and thermal stability even at high temperatures implies the feasibility of utilizing PMMA and Pani-EB thin films as gate dielectric insulator layer in organic thin film transistors which can find application in flat panel display.

본 논문에서는 Poly-ethylene-terephthalate (PET) 기판 위에 Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT)와 Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)를 직렬 연결시킨 픽셀과 64 x 64 픽셀로 구성된 어레이를 제작하여 동작을 시연하였다. OTFT는 PET 기판과의 호환성을 고려하여 Poly 4-vinylphenol을 게이트 절연체로, 펜타센을 활성층으로 사용하여 제작되었다. 개별 소자 수준에서는 이동도가 $1.0\;cm^2/V{\cdot}sec$로 나타났으나, 어레이에서는 $0.1\~0.2\;cm^2/V{\cdot}sec$로 약 10배 정도 감소하였다. 어레이의 동작을 분석하였고 OTFT의 OLED에 대한 전류구동능력을 확인하였다.

We developed a 4.5" 192${\times}$64 active matrix organic light-emitting diode display on a glass using organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) switching-arrays with two transistors and a capacitor in each sub-pixel. The OTFTs has bottom contact structure with a unique gate insulator and pentacene for the active layer. The width and length of the switching OTFT is 800${\mu}m$ and lO${\mu}m$ respectively and the driving OTFT has 1200${\mu}m$ channel width with the same channel length. On/off ratio, mobility, on-current of switching OTFT and on-current of driving OTFT were $10^6,0.3{\sim}0.5$ $cm^2$/V·sec, order of 10 ${\mu}A$ and over 100 ${\mu}A$, respectively. AMOLEDs composed of the OTFT switching arrays and OLEDs made using vacuum deposition method were fabricated and driven to make moving images, successfully.

Organic field-effect transistor (FET) based on a copper Phthalocyanine (CuPc) material as an active layer and a $SiO_2$ as a gate insulator were fabricated and analyzed. We measured the typical FET characteristics of CuPc in air. The electrical characteristics of the CuPc FET device were analyzed by a Maxwell-Wagner model. The Maxwell-Wagner model employed in analyzing double-layer dielectric system was helpful to explain the C-V and I-V characteristics of the FET device. In order to further clarity the channel formation of the CuPc FET, optical second harmonic generation (SHG) measurement was also employed. Interestingly, SHG modulation was not observed for the CuPc FET. This result indicates that the accumulation of charge from bulk CuPc makes a significant contribution.

New $\pi$-conjugated multi-branched molecules were synthesized through the Homer-Emmons reaction using alkyl-substituted, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-based, thiophenyl aldehydes and octaethyl benzene-l,2,4,5-tetrayltetrakis(methylene) tetraphosphonate as the core unit; these molecules have all been fully characterized. The two multi-branched conjugated molecules exhibited excellent solubility in common organic solvents and good self-film forming properties. The semiconducting properties of these multi-branched molecules were also evaluated in organic field-effect transistors (OFET). With octyltrichlorosilane (OTS) treatment of the surface of the $SiO_2$ gate insulator, two of the crystalline conjugated molecules, 7 and 8, exhibited carrier mobilities as high as $2.4({\pm}0.5){\times}10^{-3}$ and $1.3({\pm}0.5){\times}10^{-3}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$, respectively. The mobility enhancement of OFET by light irradiation ($\lambda$ = 436 nm) supported the promising photo-controlled switching behavior for the drain current of the device.

In this paper we fabricated a test panel for AMOLED on glass and PET substrate. The test panel consisted of the various size of OTFTs and OLEDs and the current driving capability of OTFTs for OLEDs has been investigated. OTFTs were made of the inverted staggered structure and employed polyvinylphenol (PVP) as the gate insulator and pentacene thin film as the active layer. The OTFTs produced the filed effect mobility of $0.3 cm^2/V.sec$ and on/off current ratio of $10^5$. OLEDs consisted of TPD for HTL and Alq3 for EML with 35nm thick, generating green monochrome light. We found that OTFT with channel length of 70${\mu}m$ and channel width of over 3.5mm provided the sufficient current to OLED to generate the luminescence of $0.3Cd/m^2$.

Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) is promising candidate for fabricating blocking layer of gate dielectrics in non-volatile memory (NVM). In this work, we investigated $TiO_2$ as high dielectric constant material instead of silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$), which is generally used as blocking layer for NVM.

We demonstrated 2.2inch qqVGA AMOLED display drived by ultra low temperature poly-Si (ULTPS) TFT not transferred but direct fabricated below $200^{\circ}C$. Si channel was crystallized by decreasing impurity concentration even at room temperature. Gate insulator with a breakdown field exceeding 8 MV/cm was realized by Inductively coupled plasma - CVD. In order to reduce stress of plastic, organic film was coated as inter-dielectric and passivation layers. Finally, ULTPS TFT of which mobility is over $20cm^2/Vsec$ was fabricated on transparent plastic substrate and drived OLED display successfully.

AMOLED 디스플레이는 LCD에 비해 넓은 시야각, 빠른 응답 속도, 박막화의 용이성 등의 많은 장점들을 갖고 있으나 불균일한 TFT의 전기적 특성과 전원선의 전압 강하에 의한 휘도 불균일, 잔상 현상 및 수명 등과 같은 많은 문제점들이 있다. 이 중에서 본 논문에서는 구동 TFT 소자의 hysteresis 현상에 의해 발생하는 가역적 잔상 현상을 개선하고자 한다. TFT의 hysteresis 특성을 개선하기 위해 게이트 산화막 증착 전에 표면 처리 조건을 변경하였다. 게이트 산화막 증착 전에 실시한 자외선 및 수소 플라즈마 표면 처리는 게이트 산화막과 다결정 실리콘 박막 사이의 계면 trap 밀도를 $3.11{\times}10^{11}cm^{-2}$로 감소시켰고, hysteresis 레벨을 0.23 V로 줄였으며 출력 전류 변화율을 3.65 %로 감소시켰다. 자외선 및 수소 플라즈마 처리를 행함으로써 AMOLED 디스플레이의 가역적 잔상을 많이 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Chemical sensors have attracted much attention due to their various applications such as agriculture product, cosmetic and pharmaceutical components and clinical control. A conventional chemical and biological sensor is consists of fluorescent dye, optical light sources, and photodetector to quantify the extent of concentration. Such complicated system leads to rising cost and slow response time. Until now, the most contemporary thin film transistors (TFTs) are used in the field of flat panel display technology for switching device. Some papers have reported that an interesting alternative to flat panel display technology is chemical sensor technology. Recent advances in chemical detection study for using TFTs, benefits from overwhelming progress made in organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) electronic, have been studied alternative to current optical detection system. However numerous problems still remain especially the long-term stability and lack of reliability. On the other hand, the utilization of metal oxide transistor technology in chemical sensors is substantially promising owing to many advantages such as outstanding electrical performance, flexible device, and transparency. The top-gate structure transistor indicated long-term atmosphere stability and reliability because insulator layer is deposited on the top of semiconductor layer, as an effective mechanical and chemical protection. We report on the fabrication of InGaZnO TFTs with silver nanowire as the top gate electrode for the aim of chemical materials detection by monitoring change of electrical properties. We demonstrated that the improved sensitivity characteristics are related to the employment of a unique combination of nano materials. The silver nanowire top-gate InGaZnO TFTs used in this study features the following advantages: i) high sensitivity, ii) long-term stability in atmosphere and buffer solution iii) no necessary additional electrode and iv) simple fabrication process by spray.
