A thin-film transistor (TFT) is a special type of field-effect transistor (FET) where the transistor is made by thin film deposition. TFTs are grown on a supporting (but non-conducting) substrate , such as glass .
FlexEnable was spun-out of Cambridge University with a focus on replacing silicon on glass in large-area electronics with organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) on flexible substrates, enabling optoelectronic modules which are flexible, ultra-thin, ultra-light and unbreakable.
Silicon thin-film solar cells on flexible substrates allow a significant cost reduction of large-area photovoltaics for several reasons: [28] The so-called 'roll-to-roll'-deposition on flexible sheets is much easier to realize in terms of technological effort than deposition on fragile and heavy glass sheets.
The concept of a thin-film transistor (TFT) was first proposed by John Wallmark who in 1957 filed a patent for a thin film MOSFET in which germanium monoxide was used as a gate dielectric. Thin-film transistor was developed in 1962 by Paul K. Weimer who implemented Wallmark's ideas. [16] The TFT is a special type of MOSFET. [17]
Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is the non-crystalline form of silicon used for solar cells and thin-film transistors in LCDs.. Used as semiconductor material for a-Si solar cells, or thin-film silicon solar cells, it is deposited in thin films onto a variety of flexible substrates, such as glass, metal and plastic.
In 1966, T. P. Brody and H. E. Kunig at Westinghouse Electric fabricated enhancement- and depletion-mode indium arsenide (InAs) MOS thin-film transistors (TFTs). [5] [6] In 2022, the first dual-mode organic transistor that behaves in both depletion mode and enhancement mode was reported by a team at University of California-Santa Barbara. [7]
Samsung Electronics have begun risk production of 3 nm GAAFET transistors in June of 2022. [136] Apple A17 Pro (iPhone 15 Pro) See also
LTPS is important for display industries, since the use of large glass panels prohibits exposure to deformative high temperatures. More specifically, the use of polycrystalline silicon in thin-film transistors (LTPS-TFT) has high potential for large-scale production of electronic devices like flat panel LCD displays or image sensors.
