Graphene oxide (GO) and graphene oxide-zinc oxide nanocomposites (GO-ZnO) were used as channel materials on SiO(2)/Si to fabricate thin-film transistors (TFT) with an aluminum source and drain. Pure GO-based TFT showed poor field-effect characteristics. However, GO-ZnO-nanocomposite-based TFT showed better field-effect performance because of the anchoring of ZnO nanostructures in the GO matrix, which causes a partial reduction in GO as is found from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic data. The field-effect mobility of charge carriers at a drain voltage of 1 V was found to be 1.94 cm(2)/(V s). The transport of charge carriers in GO-ZnO was explained by a fluctuation-induced tunneling mechanism.

Zinc nitride (ZnN) comprises earth-abundant elements, possesses a small direct bandgap, and is characterized by high electron mobility. While these characteristics make the material a promising compound semiconductor for various optoelectronic applications, including photovoltaics and thin-film transistors, it commonly exhibits unintentional degenerate n-type conductivity. This degenerate character has significantly impeded the development of ZnN for technological applications and is commonly assumed to arise from incorporation of oxygen impurities.

Different application domains impose diverse and often conflicting requirements on the optoelectronic performance of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) thin-film transistors (TFTs). These varying demands present substantial challenges in the selection of TFT materials and the optimization of device performance. This study begins by examining three primary application areas for TFTs: display drivers, photodetectors, and optoelectronic synapses.

From the discovery of carbon nanotubes to the ability to prepare high-purity semiconductor carbon nanotubes in large quantities, the large-scale fabrication of carbon nanotube transistors (CNT) will become possible. In this paper, a carbon nanotube transistor featuring a buried-gate structure, employing an etching process to optimize the surface flatness of the device and enhance its performance, is presented. This CNT thin-film transistor has a current switching ratio of 10, a threshold voltage of around 1 V, and a mobility that can reach 6.

The increasing demand for advanced transparent and flexible display technologies has led to significant research in thin-film transistors (TFTs) with high mobility, transparency, and mechanical robustness. In this study, we fabricated all-transparent TFTs (AT-TFTs) utilizing amorphous indium-zinc-tin-oxide (a-IZTO) as a dual-functional material for both the channel layer and transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs). The a-IZTO was deposited using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering, with its composition adjusted for both channel and electrode functionality.

The praseodymium-doped indium zinc oxide (PrIZO) thin-film transistor (TFT) is promising for applications in flat-panel displays, due to its high carrier mobility and stability. Nevertheless, there are few studies on the mechanism of annealing on PrIZO films and the fabrication of flexible devices. In this work, we first optimized the annealing-process parameters on the glass substrate.
