Organic semiconductors are of continued interest for low-cost display drivers and logic elements. Field-effect transistors (FETs) with organic semiconductor channels have been fabricated in arrays to drive electrophoretic display pixels[1] and polymer dispersed liquid crystals (http://www.research.philips.com/pressmedia/releases/000901a.html). Complementary logic elements and shift registers containing hundreds of organic-based FETs have been produced[2], and high-speed organic circuits have been fabricated on polyester substrates.[3] The source and drain electrodes of individual FETs have been patterned using microcontact printing and inkjet methods[4] to give extraordinary aspect ratios. Inorganic[5] and hybrid[6] materials have been deposited as FET semiconductors using the methods of “organic electronics”. Organic FET channels have been harnessed to demonstrate ambipolar transport[7], chemical sensitivity[8], superconductivity[9], and electrically pumped lasers[10].

Organic field-effect transistors have been envisioned for advanced photodetectors because the organic semiconductors provide unique absorption characteristics, low-cost fabrication, or compatibility with flexible substrates. However, the response time of organic phototransistors still does not reach the required application level. Here, we report the photoresponse of copper phthalocyanine phototransistor in a steady state and under pulsed illumination. The detailed analysis based on the random walk among a field of traps was used to evaluate the dimensionality of electron transport in a device.

AbstractAttractiveness of organic field-effect transistors are in their low-cost and easy fabrication processes as well as their mechanical flexibility, while a significant drawback has been their poorer transistor performances than those of silicon and oxide semiconductors because of lower carrier mobility in organic semiconductors. We have developed an easy MEMS-based process to fabricate three-dimensional organic transistors with metal-insulator-semiconductor structures of multiple vertical channels on plastic platforms. The design maximizes the space availability and the output current per area. The flexible three-dimensional organic transistors indeed present outstanding current of ∼ 0.5 A/cm2, which is more than sufficient for driving pixels of typical organic light-emitting diodes. High on-off ratio up to 107 is also demonstrated.

This paper provides an overview of recent work and future directions in Gallium Nitride transistor research. We discuss the present status of Ga -polar AlGaN / GaN HEMTs and the innovations that have led to record RF power performance. We describe the development of N -polar AlGaN / GaN HEMTs with microwave power performance comparable with state-of-art Ga -polar AlGaN / GaN HEMTs. Finally we will discuss how GaN -based field effect transistors could be promising for a less obvious application: low-power high-speed digital circuits.

ABSTRACTTo benefit from the many advantages of organic semiconductors like flexibility, transparency, and small thickness, electronic devices should be entirely made from organic materials. This means, additionally to organic LEDs, organic solar cells, and organic sensors, we need organic transistors to amplify, process, and control signals and electrical power. The standard lateral organic field effect transistor (OFET) does not offer the necessary performance for many of these applications. One promising candidate for solving this problem is the vertical organic field effect transistor (VOFET). In addition to the altered structure of the electrodes, the VOFET has one additional part compared to the OFET – the source-insulator. However, the influence of the used material, the size, and geometry of this insulator on the behavior of the transistor has not yet been examined. We investigate key-parameters of the VOFET with different source insulator materials and geometries. We also present transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the edge area. Additionally, we investigate the charge transport in such devices using drift-diffusion simulations and the concept of a vertical organic light emitting transistor (VOLET). The VOLET is a VOFET with an embedded OLED. It allows the tracking of the local current density by measuring the light intensity distribution.We show that the insulator material and thickness only have a small influence on the performance, while there is a strong impact by the insulator geometry – mainly the overlap of the insulator into the channel. By tuning this overlap, on/off-ratios of 9x105 without contact doping are possible.
