We developed 4.8 inch WQVGA e-paper on plastic substrate using organic field effect transistors (OFETs). Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film was used as a flexible substrate and arrays of OFETs with bottom-gate, bottom-contact structure were fabricated on it. Lowtemperature curable organic gate insulating materials were employed and polymer semiconductor solutions were ink-jetted on arrays with high-resolution. At all steps, process temperature was limited below $130^{\circ}C$. Finally, we could drive flexible e-paper displays based on OFET arrays with the resolution of 100 dpi.

In this study, we fabricated pentacene organic thin film trasistors(OTFTs) which used aluminum oxide as the gate insulator. Aluminum oxide for OTFTs was deposited on glass substrate with a different deposition rate by E-beam evaporation. In case of the deposition rate of $0.1\;{\AA}$, the fabricated aluminum oxide gate insulating OTFT showed a threshold voltage of -1.36 V, an on/off current ratio of $1.9{\times}10^3$ and field effect mobility $0.023\;cm^2/V_s$.

We report the performance of pentacene-based organic thin film transistors (OTFT) with PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) as the gate insulator which was spin-coated on the ITO (indium tin oxide) glass substrate which was used as the gate contact. The pentacene thin film was deposited on the PMMA film and then Au source/drain contacts were deposited through shadow mask. The pentacene film shows better molecular ordering on PMMA compared with $SiO_2$ of Si wafer. The devices exhibited the field effect mobility of ${\sim}0.004cm^2$/Vs and on/off current ratio of ${\sim}10^3$.

We fabricated a pentacene thin-film transistor with Ni/Ag source/drain electrodes. Also, we obtained similar electrical characteristics as compared with source/drain electrode with Au. This device was found to have a field-effect mobility of about 0.021 $cm^2$/Vs, a threshold voltage of -5, -7 V, an subthreshold slope of 2.0, 4.5 V/decade, and an on!off current ratio of $3.6\times10^5$, $2.0\times10^6$.

Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) using organic semiconductors as an active layer are of interest for their use in low-cost, lightweight and flexible electronic products. Although the field-effect mobility of OTFTs is still lower than those of inorganic thin-film transistor, the advantages of easy manufacturing and processing make them suitable for selected applications. In this paper, we report the syntheses and characterization of new p-type OTFT materials.

플라즈마 중합 증착기술을 이용하여 ppMMA (plasma polymerized methyl methacrylate) 및 ppS (plasma polymerized styrene) 박막을 제작하고, ppMMA를 게이트 절연층, polymer electret인 ppS를 메모리층으로 한 전계효과트랜지스터 기반 유기 메모리 소자를 제작하였다. 메모리층인 ppS의 두께를 각각 30, 60, 90 nm로 달리한 유기 메모리 소자가 C-V 및 I-V 특성에서 나타내는 히스테리시스 현상을 분석하여 메모리 특성을 평가했으며, 메모리층의 두께 변화에 따른 유기 메모리 소자의 성능을 비교분석하였다.

Organic semiconductors based on vacuum-deposited films of fused-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon have great potential to be utilized as an active layer for electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this study, pentacene thin films and electrode materials were deposited by Organic Molecular Beam Deposition (OMBD) and vacuum evaporation respectively. For the gate dielectric layer, OPTMER PC403 photo acryl (JSR Coporation.) was spin-coated and cured at $220^{\circ}C$. Electrical characteristics of the devices were investigated, where the channel length and width was $50{\mu}m$ and 5 mm. It was found that field effect mobility was $0.039\;cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$, threshold voltage was -7 V, and on/off current ratio was $10^6$.

The reorganization energy and the spectroscopic properties of 2,6-bis(5'-hexyl-thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2'- yl)naphthalene (DH-TNT) and 2,6-bis(5'-hexyl-thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2'-yl)anthracene (DH-TAT), which are composed of an acene unit and alkylated thienothiophene on both sides, as organic materials for display devices were calculated and the results were compared with experimental values. The lower reorganization energy of the DH-TAT over the DH-TNT calculated by the density functional theory is attributed to a smaller vibrational distortion because of the heavier building block of DH-TAT, and it shows a good field effect performance over the DH-TNT. The calculated spectra and the other spectroscopic characteristic of the compounds are well consistent with those of observed results.

To improve the performance of organic thin film transistor, we investigated the properties of gate insulator's surface according to the leakage current by I-V measurement. The surface was treated by the dilute n-octadecyltrichlorosilane solution. The alkyl group of n-octadecyltrichlorosilane induced the electron tunneling and the electron tunneling current caused the breakdown at high electric field, consequently shifting the breakdown voltage. The 0.5% sample with an electron-rich group was found to have a large leakage current and a low barrier height because of the effect of an energy barrier lowered by, thermionic current, which is called the Schottky contact. The surface properties of the insulator were analyzed by I-V measurement using the effect of Poole-Frankel emission.

The organic-inorganic thin film transistors (OITFTs) with ZnO channel layer and the cross-linked PVP (Poly-4-vinylphenol) gate insulator were fabricated on the patterned ITO gate/glass substrate. ZnO channel layer was deposited by using atomic layer deposition (ALD). In order to improve the electrical properties, $O_2$ plasma treatment onto PVP film was introduced and investigated the effect of the plasma treatments on the electrical properties of the OITFTs. The field effect mobility and sub-threshold slope (SS) values of the OITFT decreased slightly from 0.24 to 0.16 $cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and from 9.7 to 9.2 V/dec, respectively with increasing RF power from 30 to 50 Watt. The $I_{on/off}$ ratio was about $10^3$ for all samples with $O_2$ plasma treatment.
