Low-voltage organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) promise for low power consumption logic circuits. To enhance the efficiency of the logic circuits, the control of the threshold voltage of the transistors are based on is crucial. We report the systematic control of the threshold voltage of electrolyte-gated OFETs by using various gate metals. The influence of the work function of the metal i...

Organic field-effect transistors using small-molecule organic single crystals are developed to investigate fundamental aspects of organic thin-film transistors that have been widely studied for possible future markets for 'plastic electronics'. In reviewing the physics and chemistry of single-crystal organic field-effect transistors (SC-OFETs), the nature of intrinsic charge dynamics is elucida...

As the scaling of Si MOSFET approaches towards its limiting value, new alternatives are coming up to overcome these limitations. In this paper first we have reviewed carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET) and types of CNTFET. We have then studied the effect of channel length and chirality on the drain current for planer CNTFET. The Id~Vd curves for planer CNTFETs having different chan...

We measure the temperature distribution in a biased single-layer graphene transistor using Raman scattering microscopy of the 2D-phonon band. Peak operating temperatures of 1050 K are reached in the middle of the graphene sheet at 210 kW cm(-2) of dissipated electric power. The metallic contacts act as heat sinks, but not in a dominant fashion. To explain the observed temperature profile and he...

In this work, zinc indium tin oxide layers with different compositions are used as the active layer of thin film transistors. This multicomponent transparent conductive oxide is gaining great interest due to its reduced content of the scarce indium element. Experimental data indicate that the incorporation of zinc promotes the creation of oxygen vacancies. In thin-film transistors this effect l...

ZnO nanowire field-effect transistors (FETs) were fabricated and studied in vacuum and a variety of ambient gases from 5 to 300 K. In air, these n-type nanowire transistors have among the highest mobilities yet reported for ZnO FETs (mu(e) = 13 +/- 5 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)), with carrier concentrations averaging 5.2 +/- 2.5 x 10(17) cm(-3) and on-off current ratios ranging from 10(5) to 10(7). Four ...

Further development of graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) for high-frequency electronics requires accurate evaluation and study the mobility charge carriers in a specific device. Here, we demonstrate that GFETs can be directly characterized studied using geometrical magnetoresistance (gMR) effect. The method is free from limitations other approaches since it does not require an assumptio...
