Organic Thin Film Transistors: Materials, Processes and Devices
Shekar BC, Lee J, Rhee SW
For the past ten years, organic materials have been extensively investigated as an electronic material for thin film transistor (TFT) devices. Organic materials offer strong promise in terms of properties, processing and cost effectiveness and they can be used in flat panel displays, imagers, smart cards, inventory tags and large area electronic applications. In this review, we summarize the current status of the organic thin film transistors including substrate materials, electrodes, semiconducting and dielectric layers; organic thin film preparation methods; morphological studies for organic thin films; electrical characterization of gate dielectric layers and semiconducting active layers; and characterization of the OTFTs. Future prospects and investigations required to improve the OTFT performance are also given.
Keywords: Organic Semiconductors; Organic Thin Film Transistors; Electrical Characteristics; Mobility and Dielectric Property
