A highly robust integrated gate driver based on organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) is proposed that effectively addresses the output degradation caused by depletion-mode operation, instability and variation. The series-connected two-transistor structures and the inverters generate positive gateto- source voltages for internal nodes, which eliminate the leakage current and voltage ripples in depletion-mode operation and extend the support threshold voltage ($V_{TH}$ ) range. The simulation waveforms of the 538th stage have no degradation, considering the $Delta V_{TH}$ range from 1.18 to -0.53 V for single-gate (SG) OTFT and that from 2.13 to -8.07 V for dual-gate (DG) OTFT. The fabricated gate drivers generate stable scan signals with almost negligible voltage ripples for SG- and DG-OTFT with $V_{TH}$ of +7.9 and +1.8 V, respectively. In a 5.8-inch AMOLED panel (resolution: 538×302), the circuit can operate at a frame rate range from 1 to 45 Hz, driven by clocks with a frequency of 12.5 kHz and a swing from 0 to -15 V.

A self-aligned (SA) staggered structure for amorphous-In-Ga-Zn-O (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) is proposed. The bottom contact between n+-IGZO and source/drain (S/D) enables larger contact area and shorter current-transmission distance, thus reducing the contact resistance. The non-overlap structure helps to eliminate the overlap-induced parasitic capacitance, thereby improving the device operating speed. The fabricated SA staggered a-IGZO TFTs exhibit good performance, including channel-width-normalized contact resistance (RCW) as low as 1.53 $Omega cdot mathrm{~cm}$ and transit frequency (fT) as high as 1.4 GHz, which are quite competitive in the field of high-speed a-IGZO TFTs.

This paper outlines the establishment of a generic cryogenic CMOS database in which key electrical parameters and transfer characteristics of the MOSFETs are quantified as functions of device size, temperature/frequency responses. Meanwhile, comprehensive device statistical analysis is conducted to evaluate the influence of variation and mismatch effects at low temperatures. Furthermore, by incorporating the Cryo-CMOS compact model into the process design kit (PDK), the cryogenic 4 Kb SRAM and 5-bit flash ADC are designed, and their performance is investigated and optimized based on the EDA-compatible platform, hence laying a solid foundation for large-scale cryogenic IC design.

In this letter, GaN metal–insulator–semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MISHEMTs) are fabricated on Si substrates with an ultra-high breakdown voltage of over 3 kV using a 90-nm in situ $textrm {SiN}_{mathrm { X}}$ layer as both the gate dielectric and surface passivation. The devices exhibit low off-state leakage current (on/off ratio of $10{^{{9}}}$ ), high forward gate breakdown voltage (>122 V), and state-of-the-art figure of merit (685 MW/cm2). Moreover, the reliability of the in situ $textrm {SiN}_{mathrm { X}}$ dielectric is evaluated through the high-temperature gate bias test. The results are fitted with a Weibull distribution, estimating a 10-year estimation of 100 ppm. The maximum gate-source voltage of over 70 V is obtained. This letter presents a strategy for mass producing GaN-on-Si MISHEMTs with high breakdown voltage and reliability.

A charge trapping layer (CTL) technique is incorporated to achieve a normally-off Ga2O3 MOSFET. The gate dielectric was engineered using a stack composed of a blocking layer (16 nm ${mathrm { HfO}}_{mathrm { x}}$ / 2 nm Al2O3), a CTL (5.76 nm Al:HfO${_{text {x}}}~1$ :5), and a tunneling barrier (2 nm Al2O3 / 2 nm ${mathrm { HfO}}_{mathrm { x}}$ / 2 nm Al2O3). The trap profile of the CTL layer and the interface of the gate dielectric and Ga2O3 channel are studied by photon-stimulated characterization, which yield highly uniform results, indicating the high quality and uniformity of the proposed method. Furthermore, we conducted a time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) test on devices both without a field plate (NOFP) and with a source-connected field plate (SFP) to investigate the dielectric failure mechanism and gain valuable insights for the design of CTL-based Ga2O3 MOSFETs.
