High-performance organic thin-film transistors: principles and strategies

Abstract

Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) mark a breakthrough in flexible electronics, offering advantages over traditional inorganic semiconductors through their adaptability, cost efficiency, and low-temperature production. This study highlights the evolution of OTFTs, showcasing achievements like mobility rates of up to 18 cm2 V−1 s−1 and effective low-voltage operation. It delves into the architecture of OTFTs, covering semiconductors, dielectrics, and metal contacts, and the impact of device configuration, material choice, and interface quality on their performance. Emphasizing advancements in material quality, device stability, and processing techniques, this study also explores innovative OTFT designs and fabrication methods. Through a focused narrative on recent improvements in electrical properties, this work underlines OTFTs' potential in pioneering applications in electronics, including flexible displays, integrated circuits, and sensors, pointing towards a future of versatile and wearable technology.
