AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) suffer from low current output and instability, especially at low voltages where it is difficult to achieve high current density operation. They also have low carrier mobility, which limits their frequency and makes them susceptible to oxygen and chemical substances.

Method used

Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with a vertical design structure include a substrate, a current collector layer, an emitter layer, a metal grid, and an organic semiconductor layer. By constructing vertical nanochannels to absorb gases released from the skin, and utilizing the OSC layer and an insulating layer to form a highly efficient gas sensor, high current density and stability are achieved.

Benefits of technology

A high current density OTFT device is achieved at low voltage, which improves carrier mobility and sensor stability, and can effectively analyze gases released from the skin. It is suitable for flexible electronic devices such as smart cards, security tags and flat panel displays.

Abstract

Gas sensors are provided. A device for analyzing a gas released from skin includes an enclosure for collecting a gas released from skin, the enclosure having an inlet through which a carrier gas flows and an outlet through which the carrier gas and the gas released from the skin flow into a vertical gas sensor, wherein the vertical gas sensor includes a substrate, a collector layer, an emitter layer positively biased with respect to the collector, a metal grid including a metal layer having openings, the metal grid being located between the collector and the emitter but not in direct contact with the collector and the emitter, and an organic semiconductor (OSC) layer located between the collector and the emitter.
