Contact-Controlled Transistors as Sufficiently Fast Switches for Active-Matrix Pixel Circuits

Late-News

Description:

Contact-controlled transistors (CCTs), such as source-gated transistors and multimodal transistors, can operate surprisingly effectively as switches in active-matrix display pixels, despite deliberately engineered source energy barriers. TCAD simulations of LTPS devices show that barrier optimization and driving in the triode region allow CCTs for use as effective switches. Additional desirable characteristics (low off-state current, low saturation voltage) recommend CCTs as highly advantageous for pixel circuits.
