What is it about?

We proposed an enhanced IPC geometry—a Corbino-type transistor structure that differs from traditional designs—showing it can boost device performance in solution-processed OTFTs. The improved IPC design significantly improves the device's transconductance and off-current characteristics, essential factors for high-performance TFTs for high-performance electronic applications like displays, sensors, and wearable devices. By delivering enhanced performance for solution-processed semiconductors, this design enables scalable and environmentally friendly production, making OTFTs more viable as a lightweight, cost-effective alternative to other inorganic TFT technologies. This advancement holds promise for wearable sensors, foldable displays, and other next-generation devices, highlighting the IPC structure's potential to shape the future of sustainable, flexible electronics.
