The electrical properties of bottom-gate amorphous InSnZnO (a-ITZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with different channel thicknesses (TITZO) were investigated. The difference between front- and back-channel interface traps influence on subthreshold swing (S) and turn on voltage (Von) of a-ITZO TFTs was further analyzed using device simulation. Variations of front-channel interface traps (Naf) on S and Von were hardly dependent on TITZO. However, variations of S and Von became larger for thinner TITZO TFT when back-channel interface traps (Nabk) varied; which can be explained by considering screening length. Not only Naf but also Nabk are important factors of S and Von to achieve high performance thinner oxide TFT.

We report on a compact capacitance model that accurately describes both the gate length dependent and the gate length independent frequency dispersion observed in C-V curves for printed thin film transistors with non-ideal contacts. We also show that modeling the drain current with two adjacent subthreshold regions (instead of just one in the previous RPI TFT model) is needed to match the measured current-voltage characteristics. We show that Elmore model which accounts for channel length transit time is not sufficient for describing the frequency dispersion in C-V curves for printed TFTs and present the new Variable Dispersion Model (VDM). VDM reproduces the experimentally observed gate length independent dispersion arising due to the finite time of the electron exchange between the localized states in the mobility gap and the states above the mobility edge in amorphous semiconductors. The combined Elmore-VDM model has been implemented in AIM-Spice and showed good agreement with measured C-V data.

Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) based on dioctylbenzothienobenzothiophene (C8BTBT) and copper (Cu) electrodes were fabricated. For improving the electrical performance of the original devices, the different modifications were attempted to insert in three different positions including semiconductor/electrode interface, semiconductor bulk inside and semiconductor/insulator interface. In detail, 4,4′,4′′-tris[3-methylpheny(phenyl)amino] triphenylamine (m-MTDATA) was applied between C8BTBTand Cu electrodes as hole injection layer (HIL). Moreover, the fluorinated copper phthalo-cyanine (F16CuPc) was inserted in C8BTBT/SiO2 interface to form F16CuPc/C8BTBT heterojunction or C8BTBT bulk to form C8BTBT/F16CuPc/C8BTBT sandwich configuration. Our experiment shows that, the sandwich structured OTFTs have a significant performance enhancement when appropriate thickness modification is chosen, comparing with original C8BTBT devices. Then, even the low work function metal Cu was applied, a normal p-type operate-mode C8BTBT-OTFT with mobility as high as 2.56 cm2/Vs has been fabricated.
