Scope

Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are key elements for large area electronics, whose applications are increasingly pervading our society. TFT technology, involving multidisciplinary research topics, has far reaching impact in a number of areas including flat panel displays, organic electronics, system on glass, and flexible electronics. In 2005, due to the need for a conference related with TFTs, the International TFT Conference (ITC) was established to exchange ideas and information in the field of organic and inorganic TFTs. Seven years after  the  8th ITC will be held in Lisbon from January 30 to 31 of 2012 convering the following topics:

  • TFT materials: preparation technologies and film properties (Si-related, oxide and organic and semiconductors, CNTs and related materials).
  • TFT Technologies: fabrication processes (low temperature crystallization, doping, surface treatment), device physics and simulation of TFTs.
  • Thin-Film Integrated Systems and Circuits: system-on-panels, thin-film devices (sensors, actuators, etc.), driver circuits and chip-embedded systems.
  • Novel TFT Technologies: novel devices and materials, and new applications such as electronic papers.
