Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated by using the transfer patterning method. In order to remove Au pattern easily, UV-curable polymer mold was surface treated. Au source/drain (S/D) pattern was transferred to insulator-coated substrate surface. Fabricated OTFTs were compared to OTFTs using vacuum-deposited Au S/D. Additionally, transistor diodes were characterized.

We have fabricated vertical type organic thin film transistor using tris-8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum $(Alq_3)$. The effects of the growth control of $Alq_3$ thin layer on the grain structure and the flatness of film surface have been investigated. In addition, we have fabricated light emitting transistor and then investigated electroluminescent properties.

Recently, Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are fundamental building blocks for state-of-the-art microelectronics, such as flat-panel displays and system-on-glass. Zinc oxide thin films have the advantage that they can grow at low temperature and can obtain high charge movility. Also the zinc oxide thin film can be used to control the resistance according to the oxygen content, so it is very easy to obtain the desired physical properties. In this paper, we fabricated a zinc oxide thin film on a polished copper substrate through a solution process, then improved the crystallinity through a geat treatment porcess, and studied to transfer it on a flexible substrate after the heat treatment was completed.

This research introduces the sputtered IZO thin film transistor (TFT) with solution-processed $Al_2O_3$ diffusion layer. IZO is one of the most commonly used amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) TFT. However, most AOS TFTs have many defects that degrade performance. Especially oxygen vacancy in the active layer. In previous research, aluminum was used as a carrier suppressor by binding the oxygen vacancy and making a strong bond with oxygen atoms. In this paper, we use a solution-processed $Al_2O_3$ diffusion layer to fabricate stable IZO TFTs. A double-layer solution-processed $Al_2O_3$-sputtered IZO TFT showed better performance and stability, compared to normal sputtered IZO TFT.

Layered semiconductor materials can be a promising candidate for large-area thin film transistors (TFTs) due to their relatively high mobility, low-power switching, mechanically flexibility, optically transparency, and amenability to a low-cost, large-area growth technique like thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Unlike 2D graphene, series of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), $MX_2$ (M=Ta, Mo, W, X=S, Se, Te), have a finite bandgap (1~2 eV), which makes them highly attractive for electronics switching devices. Recently, 2D $MoS_2$ materials can be expected as next generation high-mobility thin-film transistors for OLED and LCD backplane. In this paper, we investigate in detail the electrical characteristics of 2D layered $MoS_2$ local bottom-gated transistor with the same device structure of the conventional thin film transistor, and expect the feasibility of display application.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on polycarbonate CR39 substrate using DC magnetron sputtering. ITO thin films were deposited at room temperature because glass-transition temperature of CR39 substrate is $130^{circ}C$ ITO thin films are used as bottom and top electrodes and for organic thin film transparent transistor (OTFT). The electrodes electrical properties of ITO thin films and their optical transparency properties in the visible wavelength range (300-800 nm) strongly depend on the volume of oxygen percent. The optimum resistivity and transparency of ITO thin film electrode was achieved with a 75 W plasma power, 10 % volume of oxygen and a 27 nm/min deposition rate. Above 85% transparency in the visible wavelength range (300-800 nm) was measured without post annealing process, and resistivity as low as $9.83{\times}^{TM}10^{-4}{\Omega}$ cm was measured at thickness of 300 nm.

The electrical characteristics of ZnO thin film transistor (TFT) were investigated. ZnO thin layer was deposited by DC sputtering method and TFTs with ZnO channel layer were fabricated. On/off current ratio and saturated drain current of fabricated devices were improved by annealing in nitrogen ambient at various temperatures. As a result, the electrical characteristics of ZnO TFT were improved by post annealing in nitrogen ambient and it is important to optimize the annealing conditions for ZnO TFT fabrication.

In the process of inkjet-printed zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor, the effect of metallic interlayer underneath of source and drain electrode was investigated. The reason for the improved electrical properties with thin molybdenum oxide ($MoO_3$) layer was due to the chemically intermixed state of metallic interlayer, aluminum source and drain, and oxide semiconductor together. The atomic configuration of three Mo $3d_3$ and $3d_5$ doublets, three different Al 2p core levels, two Sn $3d_5$, and four different types of oxygen O 1s in the interfaces among those layers was confirmed by X-ray photospectroscopy.
