Abstract:
A vertical organic field effect transistor that includes an active cell and a capacitor that share a common source electrode. The active cell includes a semiconductor layer that is sandwiched between a drain electrode and the common source electrode. The capacitor includes a dielectric layer that is sandwiched between a gate electrode and the common source electrode. The common source electrode allows control of electrical current between the source and drain electrodes by controlling the electrical potential that is applied to the gate electrode.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an organic electronic component such as an organic field effect transistor (OFET), in which a single organic material is used for at least two functional layers, for example as a conductive and semiconductive material. The invention also relates to an efficient method for producing two functional layers, for example source and drain electrodes, in addition to the semiconductive layer, in one process step, for use in organic field effect transistors. The conductive or semiconductive regions in the semiconductive or conductive matrix are obtained for example by doping, e.g. by a partially controlled redox reaction.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a field effect transistor assembly and an integrated circuit array. The field effect transistor assembly contains a substrate, a first wiring plane with a first source/drain region on the substrate and a second wiring plane with a second source/drain region above the first wiring plane. The field effect transistor assembly also comprises at least one vertical nanoelement as a channel region, which is situated between and coupled to both wiring planes. The nanoelement is at least partially surrounded by electrically conductive material, forming a gate region, whereby electrically insulating material is provided between the nanoelement and the electrically conductive material to act as a gate insulating layer.
Abstract:
Semiconductor carbon nanotubes functionalized by hydrogen and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The functional hydrogenated semiconductor carbon nanotubes have chemical bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms. The semiconductor carbon nanotube fabricating method involves heating carbon nanotubes in a vacuum; dissociating hydrogen molecules in hydrogen gas into hydrogen atoms; and exposing the carbon nanotubes to the hydrogen gas to form chemical bonds between carbon atoms of the carbon nanotubes and the hydrogen atoms. The conversion of metallic carbon nanotubes into semiconductor nanotubes and of semiconductor nanotubes having a relatively narrow energy bandgap into semiconductor nanotubes having a relative wide energy bandgap can be achieved using the method. The functional hydrogenated semiconductor carbon nanotubes can be applied in, for example, electronic devices, optoelectronic devices, energy storage devices, and the like.
