We report floating-electrode-based thin-film transistors (F-TFTs) based on a purified semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube (swCNT) network for a high source-drain voltage operation. At a high source-drain voltage, a conventional swCNT-TFT exhibited poor transistor performance with a small on-off ratio, which was attributed to the reduced Schottky barrier modulation at a large bias. In the F-TFT device, an swCNT network channel was separated into a number of channels connected by floating electrodes. The F-TFTs exhibited a much higher on-off ratio than a conventional swCNT-TFT with a single channel. This work should provide an important guideline in designing swCNT-TFTs for high voltage applications such as displays.
我们报告了基于浮动电极的薄膜晶体管(F-TFT),该晶体管基于纯化的半导体单壁碳纳米管(swCNT)网络,用于高源漏电压操作。在高源漏电压下,传统的 swCNT-TFT 表现出较差的晶体管性能,开关比小,这归因于大偏压下肖特基势垒调制的减小。在 F-TFT 器件中,swCNT 网络通道被分成多个由浮动电极连接的通道。与具有单个通道的传统 swCNT-TFT 相比,F-TFT 表现出更高的开关比。这项工作应该为设计用于高压应用(如显示器)的 swCNT-TFT 提供重要的指导。
