Organic thin-film transistor constructs the headstone of flexible electronic world such as conformable sensor arrays and flexible active-matrix displays. With solutionprocessed methods, it forges ahead toward large-area, lowcost manufacturing goals. As an indispensable complement to traditional silicon-based transistors, organic thin-film field-effect transistors have made great progress in materials,performance, bending capacity, and integrated circuits in recent few years. Flexible transistors and circuitry have extremely promising application prospects and possess irreplaceable status in foldable displays, artificial skins and bendable smart cards. In this review, we will discuss the evolution of flexible organic transistors and integrated circuits in terms of material, fabrication as well as application.

While it is known that the charge-carrier mobility in amorphous metal oxide semiconductor thin film transistors (TFT) deviates from Arrhenius temperature dependence, we found that the Hall mobility measured in amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O (a-IGZO) follows an Arrhenius relation surprisingly well. We explain these observations by the effect of strong vertical electric field created by the gate voltage, which facilitates direct tunneling of trapped carriers into the conductive band and leads to virtually temperature independent mobility. We present a generalized Arrhenius model based on the effective temperature concept. We show that our model allows quantitative description of the temperature dependence of the mobility in a-IGZO TFTs over a broad temperature range.
We investigate theoretically the electron spin states in disk-shaped HgTe topological insulator quantum dots (TIQDs) containing a single magnetic Mn2+ ion. We show that the energy spectrum and the electron density dis...

Tunnel FET (TFET) has attracted much attention as one of promising candidates of MOSFET for low power applications due to its capability of sub-60mV/dec subthreshold slope (SS) at room temperature [1]. It has a gated p-i-n structure switched by band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) mechanism. However, it is difficult to form abrupt source doping profile in the experiments for sharp band bending at the junction, resulting in relatively large SS of experimental demonstrations compared with ideally theoretical expectations. Another critical issue is that the on current (ION) is relatively low, especially for silicon-based TFET. The resulting issues of low ION, including large intrinsic delay and low gain, may also limit its applications. In recent years, most of TFET researchers focused on the methods for SS reduction and the I ON enhancement, including adoption of the small-bandgap materials, heterojunction [2], nanowire structure [3] and advanced annealing technology [4], etc. Mechanism engineering is focused in our research work as a different possible way to solve the TFET issues, not only improving I ON and SS values, but also enhancing comprehensive properties in terms of reduced Miller capacitance [5], immune to the super-linear onset of output characteristics [6] and reduced noise [7], etc.

Stochastic computing (SC) is a promising alternative to conventional deterministic computing, which enables ultralow power, high error-tolerance and massive parallelism, but not requiring new devices. In this paper, the feasibility of SC circuits based on state-of-the-art FinFET technology are investigated for the first time, with on-chip image processing application as an example. Practical technical issues are carefully examined, including static and transient device variations in 16/14nm FinFET. SC design optimization procedure is also proposed, which can considerably decrease its energy consumption without the penalty of accuracy. The results provide helpful guidelines for energy-efficient stochastic circuit design in new-paradigm computing.
