RESUMO
Given the current maturity of printed technologies, Organic Thin-Film Transistors (OTFT) still show high initial variability, which can be beneficial for its exploitation in security applications. In this work, the process-related variability and aging of commercial OTFTs have been characterized to evaluate the feasibility of OTFTs-based Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) implementation. For our devices, ID-based PUFs show good uniformity and uniqueness. However, PUFs' reliability could be compromised because of the observed transient and aging effects in the OTFTs, which could hinder the reproducibility of the generated fingerprints. A systematic study of the aging of OTFTs has been performed to evaluate the PUFs' reliability. Our results suggest that the observed transient and aging effects could be mitigated so that the OTFTs-based PUFs' reliability could be improved.
RESUMO
The organic thin-film transistor is advantageous for monolithic three-dimensional integration attributed to low temperature and facile solution processing. However, the electrical properties of solution deposited organic semiconductor channels are very sensitive to the substrate surface and processing conditions. An organic-last integration technology is developed for wafer-scale heterogeneous integration of a multi-layer organic material stack from solution onto the non-even substrate surface of a III-V micro light emitting diode plane. A via process is proposed to make the via interconnection after fabrication of the organic thin-film transistor. Low-defect uniform organic semiconductor and dielectric layers can then be formed on top to achieve high-quality interfaces. The resulting organic thin-film transistors exhibit superior performance for driving micro light emitting diode displays, in terms of milliampere driving current, and large ON/OFF current ratio approaching 1010 with excellent uniformity and reliability. Active-matrix micro light emitting diode displays are demonstrated with highest brightness of 150,000 nits and highest resolution of 254 pixels-per-inch.
RESUMO
1,4,8,11-Methyl-substituted 6,13-triethylsilylethynylpentacene shows extended pi-pi overlap when deposited from solution, yielding organic thin film transistors with high and reproducible hole mobility with negligible hysteresis.
