Abstract
Electronic sensors support activity in health care, energy, transport, environmental sustainability and mineral exploration built environment and across the consumer market. Design and integration of technologies aims to develop sensor systems with intelligence and optimised control. The need of the hour is to develop sensors which are accurate, sensitive, and reliable and at the same time durable, robust, and cost-effective. One of the probable solutions to this is the use of thin-film transistors (TFTs). TFTs are the basis of state-of-the-art modern microelectronics. They are flexible, lightweight, shock-resistant and relatively inexpensive. The commonly used substrate materials are glass, plastic, etc., since the primary TFTs are used in liquid crystal displays and flexible electronics. The materials used for active layer in TFTs are amorphous silicon, zinc oxide, organic compounds, polymers, etc. In this work, different materials were tested as active layers, in simulation using SILVACO software, to test suitability for the sensor application.
