Despite its interesting electrochemical properties, the rGO-TFT technology is still relative immature, especially from an electronic engineer point of view. In this work, the performance and properties of rGO-TFTs are critically investigated by considering the requirements to design rGO-based analogue and digital applications. Therefore, three fundamental figures of merit are introduced and discussed: i) intrinsic gain; i)) the trade-off between maximum transistor current and ON-OFF ratio; iii) univocal definition of the Dirac Voltage. The utility of these figures of merit is demonstrated by characterizing rGO- TFTs fabricated by two different reduction methods, showing the importance of proper fabrication protocols to optimize TFTs ‘ performance.","PeriodicalId":148302,"journal":{"name":"2022 14th International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Microsystems (ASDAM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132263711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two hole-like defects were confirmed by both methods: DLTFS and DLTFS-O methods. The probable origin of electron-like defects could be nitrogen vacancies, defect clusters along screw- and mixed-type dislocations, the presence of surface states or emissions from the interface.

Considering these requirements, a potentiostatic platform was developed, enabling the use of various electrochemical analytical methods. The device contains a complete analog front end, a microcontroller controlled by supporting circuits and a communication interface. The device was tested and compared with reference laboratory potentiostats using standard solutions, thus demonstrating the accuracy of the developed platform.
