Chapter 2<br />

A survey on the state of the art<br />

Organic Thin-Film Transistors<br />

processing<br />

This chapter is a brief overview of common features, technology<br />

and advances in the OTFT branch of Organic Electronics. This<br />

introduction, without pretending to be neither complete nor extensive<br />

has the objective to sketch out the framework in which the present<br />

thesis goes to insert itself. Some significant Literature results have<br />

been collected about materials, dielectrics, channel organic<br />

semiconductors and the related processing techniques to make easier<br />

the tagging of the major on-going activities in OTFT and in the<br />

interest sectors where investigations and optimizations are still<br />

necessary.<br />

2.1 Performance parameters<br />

Performance of a single organic FET can be evaluated by<br />

considering results already assessed for MOSFET devices because<br />

they share with them part of the working principles, firstapproximation<br />

models and some circuital topologies they are<br />

intended to be used for [3][4][5].<br />

In particular for the sake of their technological and design<br />

relevance a great part of the attention is today dedicated to:<br />

Charge mobility (µ)<br />

Gate leakages<br />

Gate breakdown voltages<br />

Ion/Ioff ratio<br />

Threshold and on-set voltages<br />

Sub threshold slope
