Dianne Corsino graduated from the University of the Philippines – Diliman in 2016 with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Materials Engineering. She continued taking graduate studies at Nara Institute of Science and Technology where she was awarded degrees in Master of Engineering in Materials Science and Doctor of Engineering in Materials Science in 2018 and 2021. For her master’s thesis, she mainly worked on the atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 passivation for improving the reliability of vacuum-processed oxide thin-film transistors.

abstract = {Thin-film electronics realized on flexible substrates opens up a new realm of innovative applications, such as wearable technologies that are unviable with conventional electronic systems on rigid carriers. The challenge, however, is to establish the fabrication of miniaturized devices with dimensions at the micrometer scale and to take into account the possibility of misalignment on thin, flexible, and, potentially, soft substrates. One efficient way to structure short channels is to employ self-alignment where the channel length is defined by the gate contact. Such approach relies on the transparency of the substrate and is extremely time consuming if traditional, only partially transparent substrates are used. Here, we implement self-aligned InGaZnO (IGZO) TFTs and circuits on novel flexible and highly transparent substrates, namely 100 μm thin glass and 50 μm fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) film, resulting in self-aligned IGZO TFTs with channel lengths as short as 2.2 μm and 4.5 μm, respectively. The IGZO TFTs on the respective substrates exhibit on-off current ratios and effective mobilities of ≈1010 and 7.6 cm2 V−1 s−1, and ≈102 and 11.5 cm2 V−1 s−1. The AC performance of the TFTs reaches a maximum oscillation frequency up to 147MHz. The IGZO TFT further demonstrates mechanical stability by showing full functionality on thin glass even when bent to a radius of 25mm. At the same time, inverters and common-source amplifiers based on self-aligned IGZO TFTs demonstrate operation at frequencies in the kilohertz range. This work presents a facile approach for realizing high-speed and flexible transistors and circuits based on self-alignment, leveraging the merit of transparent substrates.},

Here, the fabrication and ac performance of flexible InGaZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) and circuits are presented to evaluate their suitability for analog sensor conditioning applications. Functional oxides are employed to guarantee the transparency of the device, while their fabrication processes are suitable to directly realize electronics on a flexible polyimide substrate.

abstract = {Flexible electronics, most prominently thin-film transistors (TFTs) on plastic substrates, are considered the prime building block for the realization of innovative wearable systems. Two of the currently most successful fabrication processes of transistors on free-standing polymer foils are large-area-compatible devices structured by conventional UV lithography and high-speed transistors realized by self-alignment. Here, both processes, based on InGaZnO (IGZO) technology, are combined for the first time. This not only demonstrates their compatibility, but also showcases the differences between the resulting devices. Concerning the geometry, TFTs with the same nominal designed channel length of 1.5μm exhibit a real channel length of 1.5μm (self-aligned) and 4.5μm (conventional). Furthermore, the integrated side-by-side fabrication enables the electrical comparison of both types of TFTs excluding external factors. While all TFTs exhibit similar threshold voltages around $\mathrm {0 V}$ and excellent on/off ratios of $\approx \mathrm {e10 }$ , conventional TFTs are easier to fabricate and have comparably higher mobilities up to 16cm2V−1s−1. At the same time, self-aligned TFTs demonstrate better ac performance, demonstrating a maximum oscillation frequency of 216 MHz. This integration shows new possibilities for the realization of complex systems made from building blocks optimized for reliability and speed.},
