Session 12 — Tutorial — beyond CMOS: Large area electronics-concepts and prospects

Summary form only given. While the trend in CMOS semiconductor is to miniaturize the devices and circuits at affordable cost, the development of organic and thin film field-effect transistors is driven by their potential use in low-cost electronic circuits on large-area flexible substrates. Recent significant performance improvement in transistors for large-area electronics raises a lot of attractive applications such as new display, bio-array sensors, large-area flexible sensors, low-cost RFID tags, etc. This embedded tutorial discusses recent advances in the field of large area electronics including organic and thin film transistors in addition to CMOS.
