ABSTRACTWe have developed a new theory to describe the current-voltage characteristics of amorphous silicon based alloy field effect transistors. We show that the transition from below to above threshold operation occurs when the Fermi level in the accumulation region moves from the deep to tail localized states in the energy gap and that the field effect mobility is dependent on gate voltage. We also propose a new technique to determine the flat-band voltage from the I-V characteristics in the below threshold regime.

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are “soft material” versions of accumulationmode silicon-based FETs, where a gate field across a dielectric induces a conductive charge channel at the interface of the dielectric with a semiconductor, between source and drain electrodes. Charge carrier mobilities >0.01 and on/off ratios >10,000 are routinely obtained, adequate for a few specialized applications such as electrophoretic pixel switches but well below standards established for silicon microprocessor technology. Still, progress that has been made in solution-phase semiconductor deposition and the printing of contacts and dielectrics stimulates the development of OFET circuits for situations where extreme low cost, large area, and mechanical flexibility are important. Circuits with hundreds of OFETs have been demonstrated and a prototype OFETcontrolled black-on-white “electronic ink” sign has been fabricated.

AbstractLarge-scale, defect-free, micro- and nano-circuits with controlled inter-connections represent the nexus between electronic and photonic components. However, their fabrication over large scales often requires demanding procedures that are hardly scalable. Here we synthesize arrays of parallel ultra-long (up to 0.75 mm), monocrystalline, silicon-based nano-wires and complex, connected circuits exploiting low-resolution etching and annealing of thin silicon films on insulator. Phase field simulations reveal that crystal faceting and stabilization of the wires against breaking is due to surface energy anisotropy. Wires splitting, inter-connections and direction are independently managed by engineering the dewetting fronts and exploiting the spontaneous formation of kinks. Finally, we fabricate field-effect transistors with state-of-the-art trans-conductance and electron mobility. Beyond the first experimental evidence of controlled dewetting of patches featuring a record aspect ratio of $$\sim$$~1/60000 and self-assembled $$\sim$$~mm long nano-wires, our method constitutes a distinct and promising approach for the deterministic implementation of atomically-smooth, mono-crystalline electronic and photonic circuits.
