Developing high-mobility p-type semiconductors that can be grown using silicon-compatible processes at low temperatures, has remained challenging in the electronics community to integrate complementary electronics with the well-developed n-type counterparts.
This presentation will discuss our recent progress in developing high-performance p-type semiconductors as channel materials for thin film transistors. For the first part of my talk, I present an amorphous p-type oxide semiconductor composed of selenium-alloyed tellurium in a tellurium sub-oxide matrix, demonstrating its utility in high-performance, stable p-channel TFTs, and complementary circuits [1]. Theoretical analysis unveils a delocalized valence band from tellurium 5p bands with shallow acceptor states, enabling excess hole doping and transport. Selenium alloying suppresses hole concentrations and facilitates the p orbital connectivity, realizing high-performance p channel TFTs with an average field-effect hole mobility of ~15 cm2 V-1 s-1 and on/off current ratios of 106~107, along with wafer-scale uniformity and long- term stabilities under bias stress and ambient aging.
Next, I will present high-performance tin (Sn2+) halide perovskite based p-type transistors using cesium-tin-triiodide-based semiconducting layers [2.3]. The optimized devices exhibit high field-effect hole mobilities of over 50 cm2 V−1 s−1, large current modulation greater than 108, and high operational stability and reproducibility [4]. In addition, we explore triple A-cations of caesium-formamidinium-phenethylammonium to create high-quality cascaded Sn perovskite channel films. As such, the optimized TFTs show record hole mobilities of over 70 cm2 V−1 s−1 and on/off current ratios of over 108, comparable to the commercial low-temperature polysilicon technique level. In the last part, I would like to briefly introduce our recent halide perovskite transistors fabricated by thermal evaporation [5].

International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
