The dependency of processing pressure on the electrical performances in amorphous silicon-zinc-tin-oxide thin film transistors (SZTO-TFT) has been investigated. The SZTO channel layers were deposited by using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method with different partial pressure. The field effect mobility (${\mu}_{FE}$) increased and threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) shifted to negative direction with increasing pressure during deposition processing. As a result, oxygen vacancies generated in SZTO channel layer with increasing partial pressure resulted in negative shift in $V_{th}$ and increase in on-current.

Inorganic 물질인 SiO2 dielectric 위에 organic dielectric PVP (4-vinyphenol)를 spin coating으로 올려, inorganic/organic dielectric 형태의 double layer구조로 High-performance amorphous indiumgallium zinc oxide thin-film transistors (IGZO TFT)를 제작하여 보았다. SiO2 dielectric을 buffer layer로 80 nm, PVP는 10Wt% 400 nm로 구성하였으며, 200 nm single SiO2 dielectric과 동일한 수준의 leakage current 특성을 MIM Capacitor 구조를 통해서 확인할 수 있었다. 이 소자의 장점은 용액공정의 도입으로 공정 시간의 단축 및 원가 절감을 이룰 수 있으며, dielectric과 channel 사이의 균일한 interface의 형성으로 interface trap 개선 및 Yield 향상의 장점을 갖는다. 우리는 실험을 통해서 SiO2 buffer layer가 수직 electric field에 의한 leakage current을 제어하고, PVP dielectric은 interface를 개선하는 것을 확인하였다. Vth의 negative shift 및 slope의 향상으로 구동전압이 줄어들고, 균일한 I-V Curve 형성을 통해서 Process Yield의 향상을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the hysteresis characteristics by bias stress in organic thin film transistors using inkjet printing were investigated. Electron trapping increased threshold voltage for positive gate bias stress and hole trapping decreased threshold voltage for negative gate bias stress. From these phenomena, highly reproducible measurement method which minimized threshold voltage shift by choosing the proper range of gate voltage was suggested. Using this measurement method, we found that electron trapping as well as hole trapping had important influence on hysteresis characteristics.

This paper investigates approaches for improving effective mobility of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). We consider gate dielectric optimization, whereby we demonstrated >2x increase in mobility by using a silicon-rich silicon nitride ($SiN_x$) gate dielectric for polythiophene-based (PQT) OTFTs. We also engineer the dielectric-semiconductor ($SiN_x$-PQT) interface to attain a 27x increase in mobility (up to 0.22 $cm^2$/V-s) using an optimized combination of oxygen plasma and OTS SAM treatments. Augmentative material systems by combining 1-D nanomaterials (e.g., carbon nanotubes, zinc oxide nanowires) in an organic matrix for nanocomposite OTFTs provided a further boost in device performance.

Octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) self-assembled monolayer was selectively patterned by deep ultraviolet exposure, resulting in differential surface state, hydrophilic area with OTS hydrophobic surroundings. High-resolution (<10 ${\mu}m$) nanoparticulate Ag electrodes and organic semiconductors were patterned from simple dip-casting and ink-jetting on the pre-patterned hydrophilic surface, forming all solution-processed organic thin film transistors. The devices typically have shown a mobility of 0.065 $cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and on-off current ratio of $8{\times}10^5$.

Thin-film transistors (TFTs) with an aluminum indium oxide (AIO) channel layer were fabricated via a simple and low-cost sol-gel process. Effects of annealing temperature and time were investigated for better TFT performance. The sol-gel AIO TFTs were annealed as low as $350^{\circ}C$. They exhibit n-type semiconductor behavior, a mobility higher than 19 $cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and an onto-off current ratio greater than $10^8$.

We have investigated the new modification of poly (vinyl phenol) (PVP) for low hysteresis organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). In order to suppression of hysteresis phenomenon, synthesized various backbone structure polymeric gate dielectric. The modified polymeric dielectric was synthesized by inducing ringshape phenol backbone structure instead of conventional chain. We could be observed that relieved hysteresis and excellent air stability from ring-shape phenol backbone structure.

We report on the fabrication of ZnO-based dual gate (DG) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with 20 nm-thick $Al_2O_3$ for both top and bottom dielectrics, which were deposited by atomic layer deposition on glass substrates at $200^{\circ}C$. Whether top or bottom gate is biased for sweep, our TFT almost symmetrically operates under a low voltage of 5 V showing a field mobility of ~0.4 $cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ along with the on/off ratio of $5{\times}10^4$. The threshold voltage of our DG TFT was systematically controlled from 0.5 to 2.0 V by varying counter gate input from +5 to -2 V.

We investigated the influence of chemical compositions of gallium and indium cations on the performance of solgel derived amorphous gallium indium zinc oxide (a-GIZO) based thin-film transistors (TFTs). Systematical composition study allows us to understand the solutionprocessed a-GIZO TFTs. Understanding of the compositional influence can be utilized for tailoring the solution processed amorphous oxide TFTs for the specific applications.

We have fabricated pentacene based organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) with formulated poly[4-vinylphenol] (PVP) gate dielectrics. The gate dielectrics is composed of PVP, poly[melamine-coformaldehyde] (PMF) and photo-initiator [1-phenyl-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropane-1-one, Darocur1173]. By adding small amount (1 %) of photo-initiator, the cross-linking temperature is lowered to $115^{\circ}C$, which is lower than general thermal curing reaction temperature of cross-linked PVP (> $180^{\circ}C$). The hysteresis and the leakage current of the OTFTs are also decreased by adding the PMF and the photoinitiator in PVP gate dielectrics.
