Mounting electronics circuits on a plastic flexible substrate are pertinent for biosensing applications due to their resilient nature, minimal processing conditions, lightweight and low cost. Organic Field-Effect Transistors (OFET)-based amplifier for flexible biosensors have been proposed in this paper. To design flexible biosensing circuits, Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) with Polycyclic Hydrocarbon is a suitable choice. It is a big challenge to build an organic circuit using graphene electrode due to its poor performance of [Formula: see text]-type OFET, therefore it is advisable to use Pentacene as [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-type Organic semiconductors. Pentacene being one among the foremost totally investigated conjugated organic molecules with a high application potential because the hole mobility in OFETs goes up to 0.2[Formula: see text]cm2/(Vs), which exceeds that of amorphous silicon. In biosignal process, the first and most important step is to amplify the biosignal for further processing. Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) plays an essential role in biological signal measuring instruments like EEG, ECG, EMG modules which measure the heart, muscle and brain activities. The OTA designed using this OFET is adaptable for flexible sensor circuits and also it derives the transconductance of 67 which is similar to silicon OTA. The amplifier designed here gives unit gain of 42[Formula: see text]dB with a frequency of 195[Formula: see text]Hz which is suitable for low-frequency biosignal processing applications.

Current Characteristics

In this paper, a novel T-channel field effect transistor with three input terminals (Ti-TcFET) is proposed. The channel of a Ti-TcFET consists of horizontal and vertical sections. The top gate is above the horizontal channel, while the front gate and back gate are on either side of the vertical channel. The T-shaped channel structure increases the coupling area between the top gate and the front and back gates, which improves the ability of the gate electrodes to control the channel. What’s more, it makes the top gate have almost the same control ability for the channel as the front gate and the back gate. This unique structure design brings a unique function in that the device is turned on only when two or three inputs are activated. Silvaco technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations are used to verify the current characteristics of the proposed Ti-TcFET. The current characteristics of the device are theoretically analyzed, and the results show that the theoretical analysis agrees with the TCAD simulation results. The proposed Ti-TcFET devices with three input terminals can be used to simplify the complex circuits in a compact style with reduced counts of transistors compared with the traditional complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor/ fin field-effect transistors (CMOS/FinFETs) with a single input terminal and thus provides a new idea for future circuit designs.

ABSTRACTTo benefit from the many advantages of organic semiconductors like flexibility, transparency, and small thickness, electronic devices should be entirely made from organic materials. This means, additionally to organic LEDs, organic solar cells, and organic sensors, we need organic transistors to amplify, process, and control signals and electrical power. The standard lateral organic field effect transistor (OFET) does not offer the necessary performance for many of these applications. One promising candidate for solving this problem is the vertical organic field effect transistor (VOFET). In addition to the altered structure of the electrodes, the VOFET has one additional part compared to the OFET – the source-insulator. However, the influence of the used material, the size, and geometry of this insulator on the behavior of the transistor has not yet been examined. We investigate key-parameters of the VOFET with different source insulator materials and geometries. We also present transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the edge area. Additionally, we investigate the charge transport in such devices using drift-diffusion simulations and the concept of a vertical organic light emitting transistor (VOLET). The VOLET is a VOFET with an embedded OLED. It allows the tracking of the local current density by measuring the light intensity distribution.We show that the insulator material and thickness only have a small influence on the performance, while there is a strong impact by the insulator geometry – mainly the overlap of the insulator into the channel. By tuning this overlap, on/off-ratios of 9x105 without contact doping are possible.

This paper presents a new field-effect sensor called open-gate junction gate field-effect transistor (OG-JFET) for biosensing applications. The OG-JFET consists of a p-type channel on top of an n-type layer in which the p-type serves as the sensing conductive layer between two ohmic contacted sources and drain electrodes. The structure is novel as it is based on a junction field-effect transistor with a subtle difference in that the top gate (n-type contact) has been removed to open the space for introducing the biomaterial and solution. The channel can be controlled through a back gate, enabling the sensor’s operation without a bulky electrode inside the solution. In this research, in order to demonstrate the sensor’s functionality for chemical and biosensing, we tested OG-JFET with varying pH solutions, cell adhesion (human oral neutrophils), human exhalation, and DNA molecules. Moreover, the sensor was simulated with COMSOL Multiphysics to gain insight into the sensor operation and its ion-sensitive capability. The complete simulation procedures and the physics of pH modeling is presented here, being numerically solved in COMSOL Multiphysics software. The outcome of the current study puts forward OG-JFET as a new platform for biosensing applications.

The physical properties for analysis of semiconductor field effect transistor play a vital role in semiconductor measurements to obtain the high-performance devices. The main objective of this research is to design and analyse the band diagram design of semiconductor materials which are used for high performance junction field effect transistor. In this paper, the fundamental theory of semiconductors, the electrical properties analysis and bandgap design of materials for junction field effect transistor are described. Firstly, the energy bandgaps are performed based on the existing mathematical equations and the required parameters depending on the specified semiconductor material. Secondly, the J-V characteristic curves of semiconductor material are discussed in this paper. In order to achieve the current-voltage characteristic for specific junction field effect transistor, numerical values of each parameter which are included in analysis are defined and then these resultant values are predicted for the performance of junction field effect transistors. The computerized analyses have also mentioned in this paper.

The Impact

The interest in graphene-based electronics is due to graphene’s great carrier mobility, atomic thickness, resistance to radiation, and tolerance to extreme temperatures. These characteristics enable the development of extremely miniaturized high-performing electronic devices for next-generation radiofrequency (RF) communication systems. The main building block of graphene-based electronics is the graphene-field effect transistor (GFET). An important issue hindering the diffusion of GFET-based circuits on a commercial level is the repeatability of the fabrication process, which affects the uncertainty of both the device geometry and the graphene quality. Concerning the GFET geometrical parameters, it is well known that the channel length is the main factor that determines the high-frequency limitations of a field-effect transistor, and is therefore the parameter that should be better controlled during the fabrication. Nevertheless, other parameters are affected by a fabrication-related tolerance; to understand to which extent an increase of the accuracy of the GFET layout patterning process steps can improve the performance uniformity, their impact on the GFET performance variability should be considered and compared to that of the channel length. In this work, we assess the impact of the fabrication-related tolerances of GFET-base amplifier geometrical parameters on the RF performance, in terms of the amplifier transit frequency and maximum oscillation frequency, by using a design-of-experiments approach.
