This study investigates the influence of self-assembled monolayer treatment of gate insulators on the electrical characteristics of bottom-gate/bottom-contact organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with short channel lengths of 5 μm to 30 nm. The treatment of 3-chloropropyltrichlorosilane (CPTS) with large dipoles produces a high built-in electric field perpendicular to the SiO2 gate insulator surface, which results in a threshold voltage shift and enhanced hole injection compared to the treatment of phenethyltrichlorosilane (PETS) with small dipoles. Pronounced parabolic drain current‒voltage (ID‒VD) characteristics due to a space-charge limited current are observed in short-channel OFETs based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) with CPTS-treated gate insulators. CPTS treatment on short-channel OFETs based on poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-bithiophene) (F8T2) suppresses the nonlinear ID increase in the low VD region caused by the voltage drop at the Au/F8T2 contact. The influence of the increase in the net source-drain electric field associated with the reduced voltage drops on the channel-length dependence of the field-effect mobility of short-channel F8T2 FETs is also discussed.

Abstract This paper presents a numerically simulated Ge-source based Tunnel Field Effect Transistor with (TFETs) SiO 2 segregation between the channel and drain. The developed device has been compared with conventional TFET and without isolated heterojunction TFET. The use of oxide segregation between channel and drain enhances the performance of the device in terms of ON-state current as well as subthreshold swing (SS). The electrical characteristics such as surface potential, electric field, transfer characteristics, output characteristics of the proposed device have been studied. The temperature variation of the proposed device has also been studied. The proposed device offers high ON current of 3x10 4 A, I ON /I OFF ratio of ~10 11, and enhanced SS of 30 mV/dec. The validity of the proposed device has been done by Synopsys Sentaurus TCAD.

ABSTRACTAnalysis of diamond short channel effect is carried out for the first time. 70 nm channel diamond metal-insulator semiconductor field-effect transistor is realized by utilizing new FET fabrication process on the hydrogen-terminated surface conductive layer. This FET is the shortest gate length in diamond FETs. FETs with thick gate insulator of 35 nm show significant threshold voltage shift and degradation of subthreshold slope S by the gate refining. This phenomenon occurs due to the penetration of drain field into channel. However, the degradation of subthreshold performance and threshold voltage shift are hardly observed in 0.17 µm FET with thin gate insulator 15 nm in thickness.

Thin-film transistor (TFT) with various layers of crystalline Poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/CuO percolative nanocomposites based on Anthracene as a gate dielectric insulator have been fabricated. A device with excellent electrical characteristics at low operating voltages (<1V) has been designed. Different layers (L) of the film were also prepared to achieve the best optimization of ideal gate insulator with various static dielectric constants (εr). Capacitance density, leakage current at 1V gate voltage and electrical characteristics of OFETs with a single and multi layer films have been investigated. This device was showed highest field effect mobility of 2.27 cm2/Vs, a threshold voltage of -1.6V, an exceptionally low sub threshold slope of 380 mV/decade and an on/off ratio of 106. Such a High-ε three layered (3L) PVDF/CuO gate dielectric appears to be highly promising candidates for organic non-volatile memory, sensor and field-effect transistors (FETs).

A short channel organic field effect transistors (OFET) based on Pentacene, having channel length in the range of sub-micrometer, has been numerically modelled for low values of drain voltage. The output characteristics show a nonlinear concave increase of drain current for all values of gate voltages. This anomalous current-voltage behavior, which resembles sub-threshold characteristics of silicon FETs, shows a good match with earlier experimental reports on OFET at low drain voltages. The sub-threshold-like characteristics has been interpreted in light of thermionic-emission model because of the presence of hole injection barrier at drain (gold)/Pentacene interface. The associated analysis has facilitated to obtain a significant parameter, effective channel thickness [Formula: see text], for the first time in case of OFETs. It came out to be roughly 4 nm and 8 nm for experimental devices of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) and Pentacene, respectively, while the numerically modelled device yielded a value of about 60 nm. Increase of [Formula: see text] with transverse gate electric field is also observed. Physical explanation of the observations is also presented.
