  • Patent number: 7687807
    Abstract: Provided are a structure and fabricating method of a new inverter for controlling a threshold voltage of each location when an inverter circuit is manufactured using an organic semiconductor on a plastic substrate. In general, p-type organic semiconductor is stable. Accordingly, when the inverter is formed of only the p-type semiconductor, a D-inverter composed of a depletion load and an enhancement driver has large gains, wide swing width and low power consumption, which is more preferable than an E-inverter composed of an enhancement load and an enhancement driver. However, it is impossible to form a depletion transistor and an enhancement transistor on the same substrate while controlling them by locations.

The thin film transistor includes a gate electrode, source and drain electrodes insulated from the gate electrode, a semiconductor layer insulated from the gate electrode and electrically connected to the source and drain electrodes, an insulating layer, and a carrier blocking layer interposed between the semiconductor layer and the insulating layer and preventing electrons or holes moving through semiconductor layer from being trapped in the insulating layer. Since the thin film transistor is constructed such that the carrier blocking layer is interposed between the semiconductor layer and the insulating layer, the electrons or holes injected into the semiconductor layer can be prevented from being trapped in the insulating layer, thereby suppressing hysteresis characteristic. In addition, a reliable flat panel display device can be manufactured using the thin film transistor.
