Flexible and transparent electronics presents a new era of electronic technologies. Ubiquitous applications involve wearable electronics, biosensors, flexible transparent displays, radio-frequency identifications (RFIDs), etc.Zinc oxide (ZnO) and related materials are the most commonly used inorganic semiconductors in flexible and transparent devices, owing to their high electrical performance, together with low processing temperature and good optical transparency.In this paper, we review recent advances in flexible and transparent thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on ZnO and related materials.After a brief introduction, the main progresses on the preparation of each component (substrate, electrodes, channel and dielectrics) are summarized and discussed. Then, the effect of mechanical bending on electrical performance was highlighted. Finally, we suggest the challenges and opportunities in future investigations.

To clarify the electronic density of states (DOS) around the conduction band bottom for state of the art transparent amorphous oxide semiconductors (TAOSs), InGaZnO4 and In2MgO4, we fabricated TAOS-based transparent thin film transistors (TTFTs) and
measured their gate voltage dependence of thermopower (S). TAOS-based TTFTs exhibit an unusual S behavior. The |S|-value abruptly increases, but then gradually decreases as Vg increases, clearly suggesting the anti-parabolic shaped DOS is hybridized with the original parabolic shaped DOS around the conduction band bottom.
High throughput experimental methods are known to accelerate the rate of research, development, and deployment of electronic materials. For example, thin films with lateral gradients in composition, thickness, or other parameters have been used along
side spatially-resolved characterization to assess how various physical factors affect material properties under varying measurement conditions. Similarly, multi-layer electronic devices that contain such graded thin films as one or more of their layers can also be characterized spatially in order to optimize the performance. In this work, we apply these high throughput experimental methods to thin film transistors (TFTs), demonstrating combinatorial device fabrication and semi-automated characterization using sputtered Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) TFTs as a case study. We show that both extrinsic and intrinsic types of device gradients can be generated in a TFT library, such as channel thickness and length, channel cation compositions, and oxygen atmosphere during deposition. We also present a semi-automated method to measure the 44 devices fabricated on a 50x50mm substrate that can help to identify properly functioning TFTs in the library and finish the measurement in a short time. Finally, we propose a fully automated characterization system for similar TFT libraries, which can be coupled with high throughput data analysis. These results demonstrate that high throughput methods can accelerate the investigation of TFTs and other electronic devices.
The celebrated electronic properties of graphene have opened way for materials just one-atom-thick to be used in the post-silicon electronic era. An important milestone was the creation of heterostructures based on graphene and other two-dimensional
(2D) crystals, which can be assembled in 3D stacks with atomic layer precision. These layered structures have already led to a range of fascinating physical phenomena, and also have been used in demonstrating a prototype field effect tunnelling transistor - a candidate for post-CMOS technology. The range of possible materials which could be incorporated into such stacks is very large. Indeed, there are many other materials where layers are linked by weak van der Waals forces, which can be exfoliated and combined together to create novel highly-tailored heterostructures. Here we describe a new generation of field effect vertical tunnelling transistors where 2D tungsten disulphide serves as an atomically thin barrier between two layers of either mechanically exfoliated or CVD-grown graphene. Our devices have unprecedented current modulation exceeding one million at room temperature and can also operate on transparent and flexible substrates.
Fabricating high-performance and/or high-density flexible electronics on plastic substrates is often limited by the poor dimensional stability of polymer substrates. This can be mitigated by using glass carriers during fabrication, but removing the p
lastic substrate from a large-area carrier without damaging the electronics remains challenging. Here we present a large-area photonic lift-off (PLO) process to rapidly separate polymer films from rigid carriers. PLO uses a 150 microsecond pulse of broadband light from flashlamps to lift off functional thin films from a glass carrier substrate coated with a light-absorber layer (LAL). A 3D finite element model indicates that the polymer/LAL interface reaches 865 degrees C during PLO, but the top surface of the PI reaches only 118 degrees C. To demonstrate the feasibility of this process in the production of flexible electronics, an array of indium zinc oxide (IZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) was fabricated on a polyimide substrate and then photonically lifted off from the glass carrier. The TFT mobility was 3.15 cm2V-1s-1 before and after PLO, indicating no significant change during PLO. The flexible TFTs were mechanically robust, with no reduction in mobility while bent. The PLO process can offer unmatched high-throughput solutions in large-area flexible electronics production.
We have demonstrated selective gas sensing with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) thin films transistors capped with a thin layer of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). The resistance change was used as a sensing parameter to detect chemical vapors such as eth
anol, acetonitrile, toluene, chloroform and methanol. It was found that h-BN dielectric passivation layer does not prevent gas detection via changes in the source-drain current in the active MoS2 thin film channel. The use of h-BN cap layers (thickness H=10 nm) in the design of MoS2 thin film gas sensors improves device stability and prevents device degradation due to environmental and chemical exposure. The obtained results are important for applications of van der Waals materials in chemical and biological sensing.
