Large-area electronics based on amorphous silicon

Part of the book series: Advances in Solid State Physics ((ASSP,volume 27))

Abstract

Large-area electronics is mainly concerned with the development of input/output devices such as xerographic drums, page-width image sensors, and addressing circuits for LCD panels and printer heads. The introduction of amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H) as a large-area thin-film semiconductor with low-cost fabrication capability has given a new impetus to this field. While the excellent photoconductivity of a-Si:H was initially exploited (solar cells, xerography), the development of thin-film transistors and their application for addressing circuits has now assumed the key role. Examples of 22.8 cm large electronic devices are shown and their technological and design implications discussed.
