In recent decades, solution-processable, printable oxide thin-film transistors have garnered a tremendous amount of attention given their potential for use in low-cost, large-area electronics. However, printable metallic source/drain electrodes undergo undesirable electrical/thermal migration at an interfacial stack of the oxide semiconductor and metal electrode. In this study, we report oleic acid-capped Ag nanoparticles that effectively suppress the significant Ag migration and facilitate high field-effect mobilities in oxide transistors. The origin of the role of surface-capped Ag nanoparticles is clarified with comparative studies based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Achieving high mobility while minimizing off-current and static power consumption is critical for applications of two-dimensional field-effect transistors. Herein, a selenium (Se) sacrificial layer is introduced between the rhenium sulfide (ReS) semiconductor and source/drain electrode. With the Se layer and postannealing process, the ReS transistor significantly decreases the off-state current with a substantial increase in the on-state current density.

Homeostasis is essential in biological neural networks, optimizing information processing and experience-dependent learning by maintaining the balance of neuronal activity. However, conventional two-terminal memristors have limitations in implementing homeostatic functions due to the absence of global regulation ability. Here, three-terminal oxide memtransistor-based homeostatic synapses are demonstrated to perform highly linear synaptic weight update and enhanced accuracy in neuromorphic computing.

Residual antibiotics in the environment may pose threats to both ecological system and public health, necessitating the development of efficient analytical strategy for monitoring and control. This study proposes a photoelectrochemical extended-gate field-effect transistor (PEGFET) sensor for specific and sensitive detection of kanamycin. The sensor utilizes ITO glass as the extended gate electrode (photoelectrode) and titanium dioxide as the photosensitive material.

Heterobimetallic systems (HBS), known for their ability to facilitate the versatile design of surface workfunctions, offer significant potential as an electron-injection electrode layer for organic semiconductors. In this paper, we propose a universal and effective strategy to overcome the limitations of the erase operation in charge-trap memory with a small-bandgap organic semiconductor or diketopyrrolopyrrole-quaterthiophene-conjugated polymer (PDPP4T) by utilizing HBS-based source/drain (SD) electrodes. Conventional gold SD electrodes restrict electron injection into the PDPP4T layer during the electrical erase operation and impose a lower limit on the erasing voltage required for full threshold-voltage recovery.

Improvement of N-type carbon nanotube field effect transistor performance using the combination of yttrium diffusion layer in HfOdielectrics and metal contacts.

Key Laboratory for Physical Electronics and Devices of the Ministry of Education, School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Faculty of Electronic and Information Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an 710049, People's Republic of China.

In this paper, we obtained n-type top-gate carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film field effect transistors (FET) with source/drain extensions structure through dielectrics optimization strategy, combining the yttrium layer with HfOdielectric argon annealing process, and metal contacts. The mechanism for enhanced n-type conduction was explained as being due to the vertical diffusion of yttrium to the HfOdielectric during argon annealing. This diffusion causes a bending of the energy band, which results in more positive fixed charges, and a reduction in the electron injection barrier between the low work function source/drain Cr electrode and CNT thin film.
