This book was released on 2017 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solution processed metal oxide semiconductors have attracted intensive attention in the last several decades and have emerged as a promising candidate for the application of thin film transistor (TFT) due to their nature of transparency, flexibility, high mobility, simple processing technique and potential low manufacturing cost. However, metal oxide thin film fabricated by solution process usually requires a high temperature (over 300 i C), which is above the glass transition temperature of some conventional polymer substrates. In order to fabricate the flexible electronic device on polymer substrates, it is necessary to find a facile approach to lower the fabrication temperature and minimize defects in metal oxide thin film. In this thesis, the electrical properties dependency on temperature is discussed and an UV-assisted annealing method incorporating Deep ultraviolet (DUV)-decomposable additives is demonstrated, which can effectively improve electrical properties solution processed metal oxide semiconductors processed at temperature as low as 220 i C. By studying a widely used indium oxide (In2O3) TFT as a model system, it is worth noted that compared with the sample without UV treatment, the linear mobility and saturation mobility of UV-annealing sample are improved by 56% and 40% respectively. Meanwhile, the subthreshold swing is decreased by 32%, indicating UV-treated device could turn on and off more efficiently. In addition to pure In2O3 film, the similar phenomena have also been observed in indium oxide based Indium-Gallium-Zinc Oxide (IGZO) system. These finding presented in this thesis suggest that the UV assisted annealing process open a new route to fabricate high performance metal oxide semiconductors under low temperatures.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an acute market need for solution-processable semiconductor inks that can form the essential components of the printed analog and digital circuits. Currently, the industry is migrating beyond simply printing conductive metals for interconnects and embracing higher integration by printing transistors directly on the same substrate. This thesis focuses on investigating solution-processed amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) as a semiconducting channel layer of a field-effect transistor to enable low-cost, large-area printed electronics that are physically flexible and optically transparent. Specifically, we aim to achieve field-effect mobility exceeding 1 cm2/Vs, to overcome the limits faced in existing amorphous silicon and emerging organic transistor technologies, through optimizing IGZO ink and studying various thin-film processing conditions. Device approach using solution-processed, high-K aluminum oxide dielectric layer has also been examined in this study. In addition, the effect of low-temperature UV-assisted annealing has been studied which allow the fabrication to be compatible with plastic substrates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on organic electronics (or plastic electronics) is driven by the need to create systems that are lightweight, unbreakable, and mechanically flexible. With the remarkable improvement in the performance of organic semiconductor materials during the past few decades, organic electronics appeal to innovative, practical, and broad-impact applications requiring large-area coverage, mechanical flexibility, low-temperature processing, and low cost. Thus, organic electronics appeal to a broad range of electronic devices and products including transistors, diodes, sensors, solar cells, lighting, displays, and electronic identification and tracking devices A number of commercial opportunities have been identified for organic thin film transistors (OTFTs), ranging from flexible displays, electronic paper, radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, smart cards, to low-cost disposable electronic products, and more are continually being invented as the technology matures. The potential applications for "plastic electronics" are huge but several technological hurdles must be overcome. In many of these applications, transistor serves as a fundamental building block to implement the necessary electronic functionality. Hence, research in organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) or organic field effect transistors (OFETs) is eminently pertinent to the development and realization of organic electronics. This book presents a comprehensive investigation of the production and application of a variety of polymer based transistor devices and circuits. It begins with a detailed overview of Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFTs) and discusses the various possible fabrication methods reported so far. This is followed by two major sections on the choice, optimization and implementation of the gate dielectric material to be used. Details of the effects of processing on the efficiency of the contacts are then provided. The book concludes with a chapter on the integration of such devices to produce a variety of OTFT based circuits and systems. The key objective is to examine strategies to exploit existing materials and techniques to advance OTFT technology in device performance, device manufacture, and device integration. Finally, the collective knowledge from these investigations facilitates the integration of OTFTs into organic circuits, which is expected to contribute to the development of new generation of all-organic displays for communication devices and other pertinent applications. Overall, a major outcome of this work is that it provides an economical means for organic transistor and circuit integration, by enabling the use of a well-established PECVD infrastructure, while not compromising the performance of electronics. The techniques established here are not limited to use in OTFTs only; the organic semiconductor and SiNx combination can be used in other device structures (e.g., sensors, diodes, photovoltaics). Furthermore, the approach and strategy used for interface optimization can be extended to the development of other materials systems.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highly homogeneous crystalline TiO2 thin films were prepared by spin-coating a TiO2 nanoparticle aqueous dispersion at room temperature without further heat treatment. Using these films as electron transporting layers, inverted structure hybrid photovoltaic cells (TiO2/P3HT) and light-emitting diodes (TiO2/F8BT) were demonstrated. The performance of these devices show that a properly designed nanoparticle casting route can help avoid high temperature crystallization or sintering steps for TiO2 thin films, paving the road for their use in conjunction with plastic substrates. Post-annealing of TiO2/F8BT copolymer bilayer could remove the adsorbed hydroxyl groups in the bottom TiO2 while also made the F8BT copolymer diffuse into the TiO2 layer. Bulk heterojunction of electron-transporting TiO2 and light-emitting polymer was formed after post-annealing and the performance of TiO2/F8BT copolymer hybrid LEDs was largely improved. TiO2/F8BT hybrid LEDs show a promising brightness ~ 7000 cd/m2 and an outstanding current efficiency as high as 2 cd/A, which is three times higher than the efficiency of hybrid LEDs without the post-annealing treatment. MOD processed a-IGZO transistors have the basic characteristics of thin film transistors. The performance of a-IGZO TFT with the mobility of 3.4 cm2V-1s-1 shows the newly developed approach promising. The spincoating preparation of a-IGZO film is a rather simple process for transistor fabrication and therefore provides the possibility of low-cost manufacture of transparent TFTs with good performance.
