Summary
The 18th International Thin-Film Transistor Conference (ITC2024) was held from March 27th to 29th at KAIST in Daejeon, Korea. Nu Myat Thazin, a second-year doctoral student from the Information Device Science Laboratory, received the “Best Poster Award”. ITC is the most prestigious international conference in the field of Thin-Film Transistor, which is held every year from all around the world and it covers a variety of technological advances in display, sensors and general large-area and flexible electronics.
Presentation title
Solid-state Laser Annealing (SLA) of Fully Solution-processed Amorphous InZnO Thin-Film Transistors at Various Fluence
Authors
Nu Myat Thazin, Juan Paolo S. Bermundo, Umu Hanifah, Johannes Richter, Sebastian Geburt, and Yukiharu Uraoka
Research detail
Creating next generation thin film technologies depends on the discovery of new treatments for active materials processed through simple solution and low-temperature methods compatible with flexible substrate. There are several effective ways to achieve high performance thin film transistors (TFTs) through post-treatments like UV treatment, microwave annealing, deep ultraviolet (DUV), intense pulsed light and excimer laser annealing (ELA). We presented a fresh perspective on this idea by employing the solid-state laser annealing (SLA) treatment operated at 343 nm on the amorphous Indium Zinc Oxide (a-IZO) film as an inexpensive option instead of costly ELA process.
Comment
I am thrilled and honored to accept this award. This recognition not only validates the hard work and dedication put into creating the poster but also underscores the importance of the research it represents. I would like to express the sincere gratitude to my professors: Assistant Professor Juan Paolo Bermundo and Professor Yukiharu Uraoka; and all of the lab members and staff from my laboratory. I would like to extend my gratitude to INNOVAVENT, which contributed to this project by providing the SLA treatment.
