ANALYSIS OF FLOATING CONTACT BOTTOM GATE (FCBG) ORGANIC THIN FILM TRANSISTOR (OTFT) BASED TEMPERATURE SENSOR

In this research article a new flexible organic temperature sensor is proposed that is derived from Floating contact bottom gate organic thin film transistor i.e., FCBG OTFT. It is crucial to note that in commercial market of smart electronic devices like fitness watches and smart fabrics, organic electronics is now the leading technology for manufacturing low cost, reliable and robust devices without compromising their performance. Several sensor modules are integrated in these devices for the purpose of automation. These sensors are largely based on conventional inorganic semiconductors. Temperature sensors are among such sensors. By utilizing organic temperature sensors instead of inorganic ones, manufacturing cost could be reduced. Also, it will facilitate the seamless integration of temperature sensors with the smart device. These temperature sensors will not be integrated as separate module, but FCBG OTFT embedded inside smart device will perform the function of temperature sensor eliminating the requirement for integration of separate inorganic temperature sensing modules with smart device
