“…Solution-processed TFTs are transistors composed of a semiconducting layer, an insulator/dielectric layer, and three electrodes (the source, drain, and gate electrodes). A primary difference between these thin-film devices and the traditional metal-oxide-semiconductor fieldeffect transistors (MOSFETs) is the underlying bulk Si body effect [91]. While all layers are crucial, the specific arrangement of layers and electrodes can be modified and defines the architecture of the TFT.…”

Active-matrices serve as the backplane circuitry for large-area display technologies and distributed sensors. Recently, there has been significant interest in developing flexible, additively manufactured active matrices for the burgeoning flexible electronics industry. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are prime candidate materials for semiconducting elements of transistors due to their solution processability, carrier mobility, and mechanical flexibility. There have been many recent accomplishments in the development of CNT inks and in their deposition via printing that enable their use in thin-film transistors (TFTs), and their appropriate performance make them suitable for use in large-area active matrices. In this review, we provide an overview of the field, with a specific focus on recent advancements in CNT sorting, ink preparation, and printing techniques. We also provide a benchmarking study of printed CNT devices presented in literature after 2017. Next, we discuss printable CNT-TFTs used for active-matrix applications. Finally, we provide a concluding perspective on the outlook and challenges for printed CNT-TFT active matrices.

“…Driven by a powerful market and due to the massive research effort with respect to materials, processing, and modelling, organic electronics has germinated as a technology with totally new products [1][2][3][4][5]. Lightweight Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)-based rollable displays [6][7][8][9][10], low-cost organic solar cells [8], and flexible Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags on plastic roll [11][12][13][14] are only some of the organic electronic products that are expected to be significantly marketable [15,16].…”

It is challenging to develop a physically based compact model for an organic thin-film transistor (OTFT). Moreover, there is still a lack of a universal model that would cover the huge variety of materials and device structures available for stateof-the-art OTFTs. Different models of charge transport phenomenon in organic semiconductors are briefly explained, since such phenomenon constitutes the basis of a physically based compact model of an OTFT. An introduction to the basic principles dictated on compact models suitable for Computer Aided Design (CAD) simulators is stated. Six reported models are presented and analysed with an emphasis on their primary assumptions and applicability aspects. Furthermore, the selected compact models are compared with experimental results provided by a fabricated OTFT. Finally, the authors conclude recommendations for advancing OTFT compact modelling in order to reach a more enhanced model that could characterise most recently reported OTFTs.

Organic materials and devices are gaining more and more attention in microelectronics. They are dedicated to low cost applications and easy fabrication. Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) are now making significant inroads into many new large-area applications, considering that they can be fabricated at low temperatures and with high throughput on a wide range of unconventional substrates, such as glass, plastic, fabric, and paper. In this paper an OTFT model is used in cadence, a Verilog-a code is written and used to create an OTFT device. This is done so that OTFT circuits can be simulated before fabrication. First, the model is validated by characterizing the device, showing its FET characteristics. Second, the device is used inside a circuit, and the circuit performance is analyzed. Inverter circuit is implemented using the modelled OTFT device, transfer characteristics, input and output waveforms are drawn using the simulation tool. The transistors used have 10m/20u W/L ratio, the inverter is used at 1 kHz frequency.
