In recent years, the popularity of active-matrix flat-panel displays and bio-medical imagers in commercial electronic products has drawn a significant attention to thin-film transistor (TFT) technologies. In addition to amorphous- and polycrystalline-silicon TFT technologies, newly emerging organic and transparent metal oxide TFT technologies are becoming increasingly common. Solution/printing based TFT technologies are also attracting great attention from both academia and industry and are being developed to meet the growing demands for displays of better quality, lower cost and greener manufacturing, along with thin and flexible form factor. Applications of TFTs have gone beyond pixel switching to more complex electronic functions for signal communication, processing and data storage on glass, plastic or fabric substrates, enabling low-cost and flexible design solution to usher the age of pervasive electronics.
Therefore, development of computer aided design (CAD) techniques at all levels becomes increasingly important for the TFT community to bridge new material/device technologies and implementation of functional systems. This conference is dedicated to CAD techniques on TFT technologies for displays, sensors and in general large area, flexible and printed electronics. The conference will provide a platform for the TFT community to address the challenges and find innovative solutions for modelling TFTs in new technologies, circuit design and system integration. Areas of interest for contributors include, but are not limited to:
Processes and physics of new technology TFTs (metal oxide, organic, nanomaterials)
Simulation and characterization techniques for TFTs
Characterization and modeling the impact of processes on the device performance
Compact FT device models for circuit simulation
Model implementation and parameter extraction techniques
Compact models for interconnects in active-matrix flat panels
TFT circuit design and analysis techniques
TFT system integration for displays and other applications
