We investigated the effects of a gate dielectric and its solvent on the characteristics of top-gated organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Despite the rough top surface of the inkjet-printed active features, the charge transport in an OFET is still favorable, with no significant degradation in performance. Moreover, the characteristics of the OFETs showed a strong dependency on the gate dielectrics used and its orthogonal solvents. Poly(3-hexylthiophene) OFETs with a poly(methyl methacrylate) dielectric showed typical p-type OFET characteristics. The selection of gate dielectric and solvent is very important to achieve high-performance organic electronic circuits.

본 논문에서는 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 채널 내 도핑농도에 대한 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상에 대하여 분석하고자한다. 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상은 드레인 전압에 의하여 소스 측 전위장벽이 낮아지는 효과로서 중요한 단채널 효과이다. 이를 분석하기 위하여 포아송방정식을 이용하여 해석학적 전위분포를 구하였으며 전위분포에 영향을 미치는 채널도핑 농도뿐만이 아니라 상하단 산화막 두께, 하단 게이트 전압 등에 대하여 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상을 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상은 채널도핑 농도에 따라 큰 변화를 나타냈다. 채널길이가 25 nm 이하로 감소하면 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상은 급격히 상승하며 채널도핑농도에도 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 산화막 두께가 증가할수록 도핑농도에 따른 드레인유도장벽감소 현상의 변화가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 채널도핑 농도에 관계없이 일정한 DIBL을 유지하기 위하여 상단과 하단의 게이트 산화막 두께가 반비례하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 하단게이트 전압은 그 크기에 따라 도핑농도의 영향이 변화하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

We have fabricated 2.5 inch QQCIF AM-OLED panel driven by ZnO-TFT on a plastic substrate for the first time. The number of photo mask for the whole panel process was 5 and the TFT structure was top gate with active protection layer as a first gate insulator. Optimizing the process for the substrate buffer layer, active layer, ZnO protection layer, and gate insulator was key factor to achieve the TFT performance enough to drive OLED. The ZnO TFT has mobility of $5.4\;cm^2/V.s$, turn on voltage of -6.8 V, sub-threshold swing of 0.39 V/decade, and on/off ratio of $1.7{\times}10^9$. Although whole process temperature is below $150^{\circ}C$ to be suitable for the plastic substrate, performance of ZnO TFT was comparable to that fabricated at higher temperature on the glass.

본 연구에서는 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 채널길이와 채널두께의 비에 따른 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상의 변화에 대하여 분석하고자한다. 드레인 전압이 소스 측 전위장벽에 영향을 미칠 정도로 단채널을 갖는 MOSFET에서 발생하는 중요한 이차효과인 드레인 유도 장벽 감소는 문턱전압의 이동 등 트랜지스터 특성에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 드레인 유도 장벽 감소현상을 분석하기 위하여 포아송방정식으로부터 급수형태의 전위분포를 유도하였으며 차단전류가 10^-7 A/m일 경우 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 상단게이트 전압을 문턱전압으로 정의하였다. 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET는 단채널 효과를 감소시키면서 채널길이 및 채널두께를 초소형화할 수 있는 장점이 있으므로 본 연구에서는 채널길이와 두께 비에 따라 드레인 유도 장벽 감소를 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 드레인 유도 장벽 감소현상은 단채널에서 크게 나타났으며 하단게이트 전압, 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께 그리고 채널도핑 농도 등에 따라 큰 영향을 받고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

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.

Mold-Flow 3 Die Stack CSP of Mold array packaging with different Gate types. As high density package option such as 3 or 4 die stacking technologies are developed, the major concerning points of mold related qualities such as incomplete mold, exposed wires and wire sweeping issues are increased because of its narrow space between die top and mold surface and higher wiring density. Full 3D rheokinetic simulation of Mold flow for 3 die stacking structure case was done with the rheological parameters acquired from Slit-Die rheometer and DSC of commercial EMC. The center gate showed severe void but corner gate showed relatively better void performance. But in case of wire sweeping related, the center gate type showed less wire sweeping than corner gate types. From the simulation results, corner gate types showed increased velocity, shear stress and mold pressure near the gate and final filling zone. The experimental Case study and the Mold flow simulation showed good agreement on the mold void and wire sweeping related prediction. Full 3D simulation methodologies with proper rheokinetic material characterization by thermal and rheological instruments enable the prediction of micro-scale mold filling behavior in the multi die stacking and other complicated packaging structures for the future application.

Graphene has attracted much attention for future nanoelectronics due to its superior electrical properties. Owing to its extremely high carrier mobility and controllable carrier density, graphene is a promising material for practical applications, particularly as a channel layer of high-speed FET. Furthermore, the planar form of graphene is compatible with the conventional top-down CMOS fabrication processes and large-scale synthesis by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process is also feasible. Despite these promising characteristics of graphene, much work must still be done in order to successfully develop graphene FET. One of the key issues is the process technique for gate dielectric formation because the channel mobility of graphene FET is drastically affected by the gate dielectric interface quality. Formation of high quality gate dielectric on graphene is still a challenging. Dirac voltage, the charge neutral point of the device, also strongly depends on gate dielectrics. Another performance killer in graphene FET is source/drain contact resistance, as the contact resistant between metal and graphene S/D is usually one order of magnitude higher than that between metal and silicon S/D. In this presentation, the key issues on graphene-based FET, including organic-inorganic hybrid gate dielectric formation, controlling of Dirac voltage, reduction of source/drain contact resistance, device structure optimization, graphene gate electrode for improvement of gate dielectric reliability, and CVD graphene transfer process issues are addressed.

Organic thin film transistors with a pentacene active layer and various polymer gate insulators were fabricated and their performances were investigated. Characteristics of pentacene thin film transistors on different polymer substrates were investigated using an atomic force microscope (AFM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The pentacene thin films were deposited by thermal evaporation on the gate insulators of various polymers. Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were fabricated as the gate insulator where a pentacene layer was deposited at 40, 55, 70, 85, 100 oC. Pentacene thin films on PMMA showed the largest grain size and least trap concentration. In addition, pentacene TFTs of top-contact geometry are compared with PMMA and $SiO_2$ as gate insulators, respectively. We also fabricated pentacene TFT with Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Polysturene Sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) electrode by inkjet printing method. The physical and electrical characteristics of each gate insulator were tested and analyzed by AFM and I-V measurement. It was found that the performance of TFT was mainly determined by morphology of pentacene rather than the physical or chemical structure of the polymer gate insulator
