An a-InGaZnO TFT integrated gate driver circuit with a new inverter is proposed. The inverter features positive feedback from the output electrode to the gate electrode of the pull-up transistor, for suppressing the leakage current and enhancing the pull-up ability. Compared with the conventional designs, the proposed gate driver exhibits extended Vth shift margin from −8 V to +9 V.

Indium-zinc-oxide electric-double-layer (EDL) thin-film-transistors (TFTs) were fabricated on ITO glass substrates gated by agar electrolyte dielectrics. The humidity-dependent device performance was tested such as specific capacitance of the agar electrolyte, transfer characteristics, and gate leakage current. The humidity-dependent characteristics indicate that the EDL TFTs have potential applications in humidity sensing.

Since ZnSnO Thin-Film Transistors (a-ZTO TFTs) are sensitive to the ZTO/GI interface, the crude quality of interface causes a series of problems. So we creatively used three methods to optimize the ZTO/GI interface. First, N2O plasma treatment applied to the gate insulator availably increases mobility (μsat) and restrains the instability. Second, when the rf sputtering power of active layer was reduced only near the interface, SSsat significantly decreased, although μsat and stability is a little degraded. Thirdly, the increasement of rf sputtering oxygen content can obviously optimize SSsat, following with the acceptable deterioration of μsat. Combining the three effective ways mentioned aboved, the result shows that the fabricated TFTs has μsat of 4.5±0.5 cm2/V∙s, a SSsat of 0.5±0.05 V/decade, and acceptable electrical stress stability under both positive and negative biases.

We proposed a novel direct X-ray detector combining a vertical X-ray photoconductor with a readout a-IGZO TFT to form an active pixel sensor. The TCAD simulation results showed that the threshold voltage of this vertical photoconductor-gated TFT had a sensitivity parameter of γ=−1.42. The followed experimental results showed that the γ value can reach up to −2.11. Together with high mobility and low dark current that a-IGZO TFT generally has, the proposed detector can potentially enable high resolution, high sensitivity, and low noise dynamic X-ray imaging.

We introduce a 5T2C pixel circuit in this paper to compensate TFT Vth variation in active matrix-organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. Simulation results show that the emission current error is decreased to less than 10% with ±1V threshold voltage variation of the driving transistor, which is even less than 5% in middle and high level gray. This pixel circuit was used in the 15 inch IGZO TFT - AMOLED panel display of CSOT, and the lighting results show that the pixel circuit can greatly improve the uniformity of display’s luminescence.

Summary form only given. Sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity act as the role for real-time detections of a variety of industrial processes and environment. Currently, plenty of low dimensional materials, such as graphene, layered MoS2, and nanotubes, have been proposed as potential candidates of gas sensors. The nanotubes are generally porous due to their high reactivity exterior surface, which makes them sensitive to small molecular. As being important low-dimensional materials with wide band gaps, boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have also received considerable interests. Despite the adsorption behavior of pure or doped BNNTs has been reported, the structure and electronic properties of adsorbed small molecule on BNNTs is still ambiguous. Here, we investigate the structure and electronic property of BNNTs device with absorbed small molecules, and then effect of physisorbed small molecules. Fig. 1 displays a BNNT device structure for gas sensors. The first-principles calculations are performed within the framework of density function theory (DFT) by using GGA-PW91. It is found that the sites of LOMO and HOMO would be changed after BNNTs absorbed the different small molecules. The energy gap of BNNTs decreases with increasing the distance between small molecule and BNNT. The adsorption effect of BNNT will be optimal as the distance between the small molecule and BNNT is from 1 to 1.5 Å. The potential application of BNNT as highly sensitive gas sensor for N-based small molecules has also been discussed.

The SAM were prepared by vapor-phase deposition method based on the triethoxyoctylsilane (OTES). For the SAM with OTES, a well-ordered and highly hydrophobic monolayer and the excellent performance of the ITZO TFT are achieved.
