1 INTRODUCTION Recently there has been remarkable interest on organic electronics because of their unique advantages such as low cost fabrication, light weight and mechanical flexibility. The contemporary portable communication and computing devices need light weight, high image quality, thin and low power flat panel displays. The answer to this need is Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT). It is likely to have suitable applications requiring large area coverage, structural flexibility and low cost which was not possible with crystalline silicon [1].However, the innovative human mind soon searched a novel class of TFTs based on organic or polymeric semiconductor as active layer material that shows amazing possibility for integration onto flexible plastic substrates, thus giving the world an idea of futuristic technology of low cost, thin, printable electronics, flexible and light weight displays [2]. Organic thin film transistors (OTFT) have made impressive progress over the last decade. Organic electronics allows us the option of making devices that are cheap, flexible and just smart enough to perform the task in hand. Electronic price tags, chemical sensors, information displays, electronic paper and low cost microelectronics are among potential applications.

2 PTAA WITH DIFFERENT INSULATOR COMBINATION Here the dimension of device kept same, but the organic semiconductor and dielectric material has been changed. PTAA is used as OSC in place of P3HT. The band gap of PTAA is taken as 3.3eV, density of both valance band (NV) and conduction band (NC) states as 2.88*1021 cm3, mobility of holes and electrons as 0.7 and 5*10-5cm2/V-sec.

In Fig.1 (a) Al2O3+SAM layer has chosen as dielectric, which has dielectric constant of 4.5 and due to which capacitance of dielectric has been also changed i.e. 0 .7 µF/cm2. Fig.1 (b) shows the output characteristics for top contact bottom gate organic thin film transistor with drain voltage varying with step of -0.05V from 0 to -0.5V then vary the step with 0.5 from 0.5 to -3V. Here Vg sis kept constant and curves are drawn for Vgs 0V,-1.5V, -1.8V, -2.1V, 2.4V, 2.7V, 3V. The drain source voltage Vds is varied. In this curve, the lowest current is -6.10*10-21 Amp. at constant Vgs 0V and max current is -1.44*10-08Amp. at constant Vgs -3V.

3 PARAMETER EXTRACTION FOR DIFFERENT DIELECTRIC MATERIAL COMBINATION WITH PTAA The performance parameters such as mobility, threshold voltage, Sub-threshold slope, transconductance, ON/OFF current ratio are extracted from characteristic plots of various OTFT structures. The resulting characteristics parameter values are presented in following table.

The above table summarizes the extracted parameters for different dielectric material combination with P3HT.It is noted from the table that the max current Id(max) in material

combination 2 is much higher than other material combinations and Id(min) in material combination 2 is much lower than other material combinations even with the same channel length, width and other dimension. The linear mobility, saturation mobility and transconductance values are higher in material combination 2 than other combinations. Sub-threshold voltage and threshold values are lower for material combination 2 and material combination 6.Ion/Ioffcurrent ratio is highest for material combination 2.So high Ion/Ioff current ratio is required to fabricate and designing display and memory devices. So from the table, It can be concluded that the material combination 2 shows better performance as compared to other material combinations in terms of drain current, mobility, transconductance and Ion/Ioff current ratio and sub-threshold voltage

4 CONCLUSION This paper describes about the simulated device structure and output characteristics (Id-Vd) for different constant Vgs values. This also describes transfer characteristics (Id-Vgs) at Vds=-1.5V and Log 10 Id Vs Vgs curve at Vds = -1.5 V. These simulated structures and characteristics are drawn for pentacene with different insulators, PTAA with different insulators. A comparative analysis of various OTFTs with different material combination has been done using Silvaco ATLAS two dimensional finite element dependent numerical device simulations. The performance of material combination pentacene-HfO2-Au-Al is better in terms of Max. Ion, Max. transconductance gm, Max. µsat, Max. µlin and material combination PTAA-HfO2-Au-Al is better in terms of Min. Ioff, Max. Ion/Ioff ratio, Min. Sub-threshold slope voltage SS but material combination Pentacene-SiO2-Au-Si is better than other material combinations in terms of Min. VT. Now a particular material combination can be chosen according to our application ACKNOWLEDGMENT I feel a sense of deep self-satisfaction and a great experience of having accomplished my paper entitled “DESIGN OF PI CONTROLLER TO MINIMIZE THE SPEED ERROR OF D.C.
