Abstract

High-performance flexible transparent thin-film transistors (TFTs) are demonstrated using amorphous zink indium tin oxide (ZITO) transparent oxide conductor electrodes, an amorphous ZITO transparent oxide semiconductor channel, and a vapor-deposited self-assembled nanodielectric (v-SAND) gate insulator. These TFTs exhibit a large field-effect mobility of 110 cm2V−1s−1, a current on/off ratio of 104, and a low operating voltage of 1.0 V, along with very good optical transparency and mechanical flexibility.
