ABSTRACT

Organic semiconductor technologies have opened a wide range of new applications to industries that are interested in large-area low-cost applications with a certain not negligible lifetime. This chapter focuses on Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) models dedicated to organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) as they are the most widespread in literature. It overviews Silicon-based public SPICE models often used for organic device modelling. The chapter also focuses on physics-based analytical models developed by several groups to better describe carrier transport and mobility bias dependence in OTFTs. It considers some other empirical approaches of OTFT modelling. The chapter discusses the presented models in terms of current and mobility equations. It then briefly overviews the contact resistances, dynamic/capacitance behaviour and extra equations that can optimize the OTFT modelling in general. Finally, the chapter provides an overview on other organic device models.
