In this paper, we have fabricated pentacene thin film transistors (TFTs) using polyvinylphenol (PVP) copolymer and cross-linked PVP as gate insulator on glass and plastic (PET) substrate. Depending on the density of PVP and cross-link material the performance has been changed. We obtained the best device performance with the mobility of 0.32cm2/V${\cdot}$sec and the on/off current ratio of 1.19${\times}$106 for the case of 10wt% PVP copolymer mixed with 5wt% poly (melamine-co-formaldehyde). Additionally using pentacene TFTs with the above PVP gate insulator, we fabricated the integrated circuits including inverter which produced the gain of 9.7.

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.

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.

Transparent semiconductor oxide thin films have been attracting considerable attention as potential channel layers in thin film transistors (TFTs) owing to their several advantageous electrical and optical characteristics such as high mobility, high stability, and transparency. TFTs with ZnO or similar metal oxide semiconductor thin films as the active layer have already been developed for use in active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED). Of late, there have been several reports on TFTs fabricated with InZnO, AlZnSnO, InGaZnO, or other metal oxide semiconductor thin films as the active channel layer. These newly developed TFTs were expected to have better electrical characteristics than ZnO TFTs. In fact, results of these investigations have shown that TFTs with the new multi-component material have excellent electrical properties. In this work, we present TFTs with inverted coplanar geometry and with a novel HfInZnO active layer co-sputtered at room temperature. These TFTs are meant for use in low voltage, battery-operated mobile and flexible devices. Overall, the TFTs showed good performance: the low sub-threshold swing was low and the $I_{on/off}$ ratio was high.

Organic materials have considerable attention as active semiconductors for device applications such as thin-film transistors (TFTs) and diodes. Pentacene is a p-type organic semiconducting material investigated for TFTs. In this paper, we reported the morphological and electrical characteristics of pentacene TFT films. The pentacene transistors showed the mobility of 0.8 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vs and the grains larger than 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements were carried out on metal/insulator/organic semiconductor structure devices that had a depletion region at the insulator/organic-semiconductor interface. The duration of the capacitance transient in DLTS signals was several ten of seconds in the pentacene, which was longer than that of inorganic semiconductors such as Si. Based on the DLTS characteristics, the energy levels of hole and electron traps for the pentacene films were approximately 0.24, 1.08, and 0.31 eV above Ev, and 0.69 eV below Ec.

A threshold voltage compensation pixel circuit was developed for active-matrix organic light emitting diodes (AMOLEDs) using amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film transistors (a-IGZO-TFTs). Oxide TFTs are n-channel TFTs; therefore, we developed a circuit for the n-channel TFT characteristics. The proposed pixel circuit was verified and proved by circuit analysis and circuit simulations. The proposed circuit was able to compensate for the threshold voltage variations of the drive TFT in AMOLEDs. The error rate of the OLED current for a threshold voltage change of 3 V was as low as 1.5%.

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have shown superior characteristics and are expected to dominate the nextgeneration flat-panel displays. Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays, however, have stringent demands on the performance of the backplane. In this paper, the development of thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) on both Gen 1 and 6 glasses, and their decent characteristics, which meet the AMOLED requirements, are shown. Further, several display prototypes (e.g., 2.4" AMOLED, 2.4" transparent AMOLED, and 32" AMLCD) using IGZO TFTs are demonstrated to confirm that they can indeed be strong candidates for the next-generation TFT technology not only of AMOLED but also of AMLCD (active-matrix liquid crystal display).

Organic thin film transistors(OTFTs) were simulated by a SPICE model adopted in the amorphous TFTs(a-Si:H TFTs). The gate voltage-dependent mobilities were assumed to fit the representative current-voltage characteristics. The optimal fitting procedures were suggested to compare the experimental data with the mathematical expressions used in the amorphous TFTs. Each SPICE parameter explains the gate dependent mobilities in OTFTs which might originate from the influence of the hopping conduction.

We propose a new pixel design for active matrix organic light emitting diode (AM-OLED) displays using hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistors (a-Si:H TFTs). The pixel circuit is composed of five TFTs and one capacitor, and employs only one additional control signal line. It is verified by SPICE simulation results that the proposed pixel compensates the threshold voltage shift of the a-Si:H TFTs and OLED.
