“…Because a two-way switch can always fulfil the same function as a simple switch, its simplicity of processing and choice of materials recommend its use as an alternative to insulated gate FETs in large area and flexible electronics, 7,15 particularly in applications where a significant base current can be offset against the simplicity of not requiring a compatible gate insulator. Examples are the pixel switches for current driven displays such as organic and inorganic light emitting diodes and electroluminescent elements, or in addressing ferroelectric 16 or magnetic memory.…”

“…Although it is simpler to employ a material which is intrinsically non-linear, like the printed silicon used here, the same effect could be achieved by combining the construction principles of the MESFET and the point contact transistor so that a Schottky junction is present at all three contacts. The semiconductor body of the device may then be a bulk crystalline material, a CVD deposited film, an organic semiconductor 15,17 or even a graphene layer. 18 As with the silicon used here, any material which exhibits hopping conductivity, such as other particulate semiconductors, e.g mixed oxides composites, and organic semiconductors which have significantly non-linear currentvoltage characteristics can be used with either ohmic or Schottky contacts.…”

A novel mode of current switching dependent on activated charge transport

We demonstrate a fully printed transistor with a planar triode geometry, using nanoparticulate silicon as the semiconductor material, which has a unique mode of operation as an electrically controlled two-way (double throw) switch. A signal applied to the base changes the direction of the current from between the collector and base to between the base and emitter. We further show that the switching characteristic results from the activated charge transport in the semiconductor material, and that it is independent of the dominant carrier type in the semiconductor and the nature of the junction between the semiconductor and the three contacts. The same equivalent circuit, and hence similar device characteristics, can be produced using any other material combination with non-linear current-voltage characteristics, such as a suitable combination of semiconducting and conducting materials, such that a Schottky junction is present at all three contacts.

This paper presents an organic semiconductor transistor, with a vertical current modulation and a horizontal conduction. The simulations show a stronger top gate influence and establish four work regimes, depending on the top and bottom gates biasing. In the most favorable regime for the holes channel, under the reverse biased n + p junction, the holes/electrons current densities ratio reaches 0.168/269. However, an ambipolar OTFT function occurs under the reverse biasing of the vertical junction, with a top n-layer and a bottom p-layer. Due to the asymmetrical doping profile, the n + channel conduction prevails in all the regimes. Therefore, the maximum current density of 1900A/cm 2 is ensured by a double n channel, when both gates are positive biased. After simulations, three distinct work regimes are revealed by this single device: a SOI behavior with volume channel, a JFET with neutral median channel and an OTFT with one or more interface channels.
