This study explores the synthesis and characterization of TFTs fabricated using nickel(Ni)-doped indium oxide(In2O3) via a wet-chemical approach. The presented work investigates the effect of "Ni" incorporation in In2O3 on the structural and electrical transport properties of In2O3, revealing that higher "Ni" content decreases the oxygen vacancies, leading to a reduction in leakage current and a forward shift in threshold potential(Vth).Experimental findings reveal that Ni In O-based TFTs(with Ni = 0.5%) showcase enhanced electrical performance, achieving mobility of 7.54 cm2/(V·s), an impressive ON/OFF current ratio of ~107, a Vth of 6.26 V, reduced interfacial trap states(Dit) of 8.23 ×1012 cm-2 and enhanced biased stress stability. The efficacy of "Ni" incorporation is attributed to the upgraded Lewis acidity, stable Ni-O bond strength, and small ionic radius of Ni. Negative bias illumination stability(NBIS) measurements further indicate that device stability diminishes with shorter light wavelengths, likely due to the activation of oxygen vacancies. These findings validate the solution-processed techniques' potential for future large-scale, low-cost, energy-efficient, and high-performance electronics.展开更多

摘要The spin field-effect transistor(SFET)based on ferroelectric Rashba semiconductor(FRS)has a shorter channel length than ordinary transistors,making it an important type of future transistor.Through high-throughput inverse design,AlBi and SiPb monolayers are considered to be very promising FRSs due to their prominent Rashba effect,the thinnest atomic structure,and surmountable energy barriers.Herein,we employ first-principles calculations to systematically investigate the modulation of Rashba effect,electric field response,and ferroelectricity in AlBi and SiPb monolayers.The large Rashba coefficients of 2.717 and 2.606 eV·Åare obtained for AlBi and SiPb monolayers,while they can be efficiently modulated by the external electric field and strain engineering.The electric field response of AlBi oscillates around 0.5 e·Å2and that of SiPb can reach 0.78 e·Å2,which can fully meet the requirements of practical applications.Furthermore,as typical two-dimensional ferroelectric materials,the coupling effect between ferroelectric polarization and spin polarization is also explored.Based on these investigations,we design two types of SFET with AlBi or SiPb monolayer as the channel.The SFET designed solely based on the electric field response without considering the ferroelectricity,has a channel length ranging from 70 nm to 100 nm.The SFET designed based on the ferroelectricity can reduce the channel length to below 2 nm,which is quite below the tolerance of coherent transport in semiconductors.Thus,two-dimensional(2D)FRS can be considered as a promising candidate material for the next generation of SFETs.

摘要The edge deployment of artificial intelligence has driven the exploitation of compact,energy-efficient information processing systems that integrate sensing,memory,and multi-task processing functions.However,conventional vision systems suffer from significant energyime overhead,extra hardware costs,and an unaffordable algorithm.Herein,we demonstrate an in-sensor computing system employing reconfigurable optoelectronic transistors(ROETs)for multi-task learning.These transistors exhibit reconfigurable volatile and nonvolatile characteristics under both optical and electrical stimuli.Capitalizing on this reconfigurability,we establish an in-sensor reservoir computing(RC)system operating in multi-signal modes:volatile dynamics function as the reservoir,whereas nonvolatile properties configure the readout layer.The abundant optoelectronic reservoir states display exceptional feature separability and prolonged stability in the ambient atmosphere.Such a reliable RC system successfully achieves multi-task processing of images.Notably,under the optoelectronic coordination mode,it effectively alleviates feature degradation while sustaining consistently high recognition accuracy.Furthermore,the system exhibits remarkable dynamic information processing capabilities,achieving recognition accuracies of 89.02%for dynamic gestures and 96.04%for moving vehicles recognition,respectively.Supplemental functionalities,including light adaptation and image sharpening,are also implemented.This work presents a configurable multimodal platform featuring a flexible in-sensor reservoir computing architecture,providing a potential solution for efficient multi-task processing.

摘要The displacement damage(DD)effects induced by low-energy gallium ions(Ga+)on single-walled carbon nanotube field-effect transistors(SWCNT FETs)are investigated in this study.Exposure to 5 keV Ga+irradiation resulted in significant changes in the Raman spectra and electrical properties of the devices.The key finding reveals a strong heavy-ion energy dependence of displacement damage(DD):the displacement damage dose(Dd)induced by 5 keV Ga+irradiation is nearly three orders of magnitude higher than that induced by 2225 MeV xenon ions(Xe+).By integrating Raman spectroscopy,electrical characterization,and TRIM simulations,we demonstrate that low-energy heavy ions deposit substantially more energy via non-ionizing energy loss(NIEL)processes within the SWCNT and gate oxide layers compared with high-energy ions.This enhanced energy deposition generates more atomic displacements and vacancies,which significantly degrade both the conductivity of the SWCNT channel and the insulating properties of the gate oxide.These findings provide critical insights into the impact of low-energy ion irradiation on SWCNTs and contribute to a deeper understanding of SWCNT FET behavior in radiation environments.

摘要One of the main challenges of current metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors(MOSFETs)is the exponential increase in the tunneling(and leakage-)current through the gate dielectric material while shrinking the gate dielectric material thickness.Over the last two decades,many researchers have attempted to find an alternative material for the gate dielectric of transistors that has the advantages of the current silicon oxide gate dielectric of MOSFETs but without its disadvantages.In the search for an excellent gate dielectric,researchers have compared the key electrical parameters with those of current gate dielectric materials.They applied equations,approaches,and relationships for their evaluations and estimations,which may be incomplete relationships and most likely did not lead to the correct evaluation probability.Among the cases,the great importance is the relationship with the leakage-current from the gate dielectric layer in organic field-effect transistors(OFETs)or thin-film transistors(TFTs).In these discussions and evaluations based on the conventional leakage-current relationship,interactions related to particle exchange and pinch-up displacement in the charge carrier transport channel,particularly the overlap of the wave functions of electrons(or holes)in the channel and at the interface layers,have not been considered.The novelty and specific objectives of the present work are:modifying the Hamiltonian operators based on self-energy(Σ),the retarded Green's function(GR),creation(C+)/annihilation(C)operators,and the overlapping wave functions of the charge carriers in the gate and substrate systems;obtaining a more complete leakage-current density(J)relationship than the existing relationships;and comparing the electrical characteristics measurement results of five small molecule polymers:PEIE(0.8 nA/cm2),Ps(1 nA/cm2),PFS(2 nA/cm2),ph(4 nA/cm2),PMMA(20 nA/cm2)with previously reported findings.The obtained results can be highly useful for optimizing organic thin-film transistor formulations for potential use in next-generation nanoelectronic devices with lower energy consumption.

摘要The integration of advanced sensing materials as channel layers in devices is essential for constructing field-effect transistor(FET)biosensors.In this study,we synthesized high-crystallinity bimetallic M3(hexaaminotriphenylene)2(M=Co,Ni)thin films as FET channel materials via an in-situ growth method using a mixed solvent system of water and N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF).This bimetallic metalorganic framework(MOF)-based FET then served as a glucose biosensor,achieving a high sensitivity and an ultra-wide detection range from 10 nmol/L to 10 mmol/L.Further studies reveal that the success of in-situ growth of the high-crystalline bimetallic MOF film can be attributed to the coordination solvent exchange reaction between the metal atomic center,DMF,and water.Furthermore,the introduction of bimetallic centers enhances the number of active sites within the MOF,thereby achieving an ultra-low detection limit and an ultra-wide detection range.This work presents a versatile approach for constructing high performance FET biosensors.

摘要This work investigates inelastic thermoelectric systems exhibiting tight relations among electronic charge,electronic heat,and photonic heat currents.By employing a double quantum dot setup interacting with a squeezed photon reservoir,we show that such architectures can operate as high-performance quantum thermoelectric diodes and transistors.Central to this capability is the role of quantum squeezing,which markedly enhances the rectification of both charge and heat currents.Moreover,we demonstrate that a photon-assisted inelastic transport mechanism sustains a thermal transistor effect even within the linear-response regime—a regime where conventional elastic devices typically fail to amplify heat currents.Notably,quantum squeezing further enhances the thermal gain,underscoring its utility in quantum heat control.These results not only deepen our understanding of nonequilibrium quantum thermoelectrics but also provide a viable pathway toward designing devices with tailored energy-conversion functionalities through quantum reservoir engineering.

摘要The instability phenomenon under negative bias illumination stress(NBIS)remains a major challenge for the application of amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide(a-IGZO)thin-film transistors(TFTs)in active-matrix displays.In this paper,we employ fluorine plasma treatment and a segmented metal cover line approach to enhance the stability of elevated metal metal-oxide(EMMO)a-IGZO TFTs under NBIS.At room temperature,after 15 minutes of fluorine treatment,∆VONdecreases from 5.53 V to 2.02 V.This improvement is mainly attributed to the fact that fluorine atoms fill the ionized oxygen vacancies in a-IGZO,thereby reducing the density of defect states in the channel.Further adding 2.0µm wide metal-covered wires reduces the∆VONto 0.35 V.Under 80℃NBIS,the∆VONis limited to 3.79 V.This improvement is mainly attributed to the light-shielding effect of the metal lines and the passivation of oxygen vacancies by fluorine,thereby enhancing device stability under NBIS.

摘要Thermal infrared(IR)detectors represent a crucial technology for various applications,yet achieving high performance without cooling remains challenging.Here,we demonstrate high-performance broadband IR photodetectors by integrating single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)with a ferroelectric substrate,leveraging the pyroelectric effect for enhanced photodetection.Using aerosol chemical vapor deposition and capillary transfer techniques,we fabricate sparse SWCNT films on z-cut LiNbO3surfaces to create pyroelectrically gated field-effect transistors.The devices exhibit remarkable responsivity across the IR spectrum,with semiconducting channels achieving maximum relative responsivities reaching nearly 100%/μW at 1550 nm.Our optimized SWCNT networks demonstrate exceptional specific detectivities of 1.7×1010cm√Hz at 1550 nm and 1.4×1010cm√Hz at 9.3μm,surpassing graphene-based alternatives by several orders of magnitude and approaching theoretical limits.These results establish SWCNT-based pyroelectric photodetectors as promising candidates for room-temperature IR detection,eliminating the conventional requirement for cooling.

摘要Field-effect nanofluidic transistors(FENTs),biomimicking the structure and functionality of neuron,act as biological transistors with the ability to gate switching responses to external stimuli.The switching ratio has been verified to evaluate the performance of FENTs,but until recently,the response time,another crucial indicator,has been ignored.Employing finite-element method,we investigated the relationship among gate charge,switching ratio and response time by divisionally manipulating gate charge,including entrance surface and the surface of confinement space,for ion transport to optimize switching capability.The dual-split gate charge on FENTs exhibits synergistic effect on switching response.Based on the two regional gate charge on FENTs,multivalence ions in lower concentration,high aspect ratio and single channel show higher switching ratio but longer response time compared to monovalent ions.The findings highlight the necessity of balancing these two signals in FENTs and offer insights for optimizing their design and expanding applications to dual-signal-detection iontronics.

摘要Organic thin-film transistors(OTFTs)are widely recognized as promising building blocks for nextgeneration flexible and wearable electronics.However,scalable fabrication of high-density OTFT arrays for activematrix applications remains highly challenging,primarily due to the incompatibility of conventional photolithography with organic semiconductors.Here,we report an all-photolithographic strategy that enables the scalable fabrication of flexible OTFT arrays with both high device density and superior charge transport characteristics.By combining synergistic interfacial modulation and dual-protection photolithography strategy of organic semiconductors,we successfully fabricated transistor arrays exhibiting an average mobility above 1.0 cm2 V−1 s−1 and on/off ratios of~105.This scalable method further enables an integration density of 6.25×104 cm−2,which is one of the highest densities reported to date for full-photolithographic OTFT active-matrix arrays.Moreover,we demonstrate seamless integration of OTFT active-matrix arrays with organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs),yielding all-organic active-matrix OLED(AMOLED)arrays.These devices exhibit stable electroluminescence,ultralight weight(~24.3 g m−2),excellent flexibility,and skinlike display functionality with reliable pixel-level addressing.This work establishes a universal and scalable route toward high-density organic electronic systems,opening new opportunities for flexible displays,electronic skin,and next-generation wearable technologies.

摘要Doping in thin-film transistors(TFTs) plays a crucial role in tailoring material properties to enhance device performance, making them essential for advanced electronic applications. This study explores the synthesis and characterization of TFTs fabricated using nickel(Ni)-doped indium oxide(In2O3) via a wet-chemical approach. The presented work investigates the effect of "Ni" incorporation in In2O3 on the structural and electrical transport properties of In2O3, revealing that higher "Ni" content decreases the oxygen vacancies, leading to a reduction in leakage current and a forward shift in threshold potential(Vth).Experimental findings reveal that Ni In O-based TFTs(with Ni = 0.5%) showcase enhanced electrical performance, achieving mobility of 7.54 cm2/(V·s), an impressive ON/OFF current ratio of ~107, a Vth of 6.26 V, reduced interfacial trap states(Dit) of 8.23 ×1012 cm-2 and enhanced biased stress stability. The efficacy of "Ni" incorporation is attributed to the upgraded Lewis acidity, stable Ni-O bond strength, and small ionic radius of Ni. Negative bias illumination stability(NBIS) measurements further indicate that device stability diminishes with shorter light wavelengths, likely due to the activation of oxygen vacancies. These findings validate the solution-processed techniques' potential for future large-scale, low-cost, energy-efficient, and high-performance electronics.

摘要Analog reservoir computing(ARC)systems offer an energy-efficient platform for temporal information processing.However,their physical implementation typically requires disparate materials and device architectures for different system components,leading to complicated fabrication processes and increased system complexity.In this work,we present a coplanar floating-gate antiferroelectric field-effect transistor(FG AFeFET)that unifies multiple neural functionalities within a single device,enabling the physical implementation of a complete ARC system.By combining a coplanar layout design with an area ratio engineering strategy,we achieve tunable device behaviors,including volatile responses for artificial neuron emulation,nonvolatile states for synaptic functions,and fading memory dynamics for reservoir operations.The mechanisms underlying these functionalities and their operating mechanism are systematically elucidated using load line analysis and energy band diagrams.Leveraging these insights,we demonstrate an all-in-one ARC system based on the unified coplanar FG AFeFET architecture,which achieves recognition accuracies of 95.6%and 83.4%on the MNIST and Fashion-MNIST datasets,respectively.These findings highlight the potential of coplanar FG AFeFETs to deliver area-efficient,design-flexible neuromorphic hardware for next-generation computing systems.

摘要Organic electrochemical transistors(OECTs),leveraged by their unique volumetric doping mechanism and ultra-high transconductance performance,have emerged as a pivotal device platform for constructing high-performance bioelectronic interfaces.OECT-based theranostics aim to develop intelligent closed-loop systems that integrate sensing,decision-making,and execution,thereby overcoming the latency and discretization limitations of traditional medical models when managing dynamic physiological fluctuations.This article systematically reviews the performance evolution of OECT materials from p-type to n-type,discusses critical strategies for enhancing device stability and transconductance density,such as side-chain engineering and ladder-type molecular design,while emphasizing the essential role of complementary logic circuits in minimizing the static power consumption of implantable electronics.Furthermore,breakthroughs in OECT-based neuromorphic computing are addressed;by simulating synaptic plasticity(STP/LTP)and engineering organic electrochemical neurons(OECNs),a highly efficient sensing-computing closed-loop architecture has been realized.The current application landscape of OECTs in electrophysiological monitoring,neurochemical sensing,and multimodal synergistic sensing is detailed,alongside a summary of highdensity array fabrication and system integration strategies,including 3D printing,inkjet printing,and 3D hydrogel integration.Finally,future outlooks are provided,focusing on challenges such as the environmental stability of n-type materials,multi-modal signal crosstalk,and long-term clinical reliability.

摘要In this work,we demonstrated the InSnO(ITO)TFTs passivated with SiO2via the PECVD process compatible with large-area production for the first time.The passivated ITO TFTs with various channel thicknesses(tch=4,5,6 nm)exhibit excellent electrical performance and superior uniformity.The reliability properties of ITO TFTs were evaluated in detail under positive bias stress(PBS)conditions before and after passivation.Compared to the devices without passivation,the passivated devices have only 50%threshold voltage degradation(ΔVth)and 50%newly generated traps due to excellent isolation of the ambient atmosphere.The negligible performance degradation of ITO TFTs with passivation during negative bias stress(NBS)and negative bias temperature stress(NBTS)verifies the outstanding immunity to the water vapor of the SiO2passivation layer.Overall,the ITO TFT with the tchof 6 nm and with SiO2passivation exhibits the best performance in terms of electrical properties,uniformity,and reliability,which is promising in large-area production.
