The viability of
this technology depends to a large extent on the performance, reproducibility, reliability
and cost of the transparent transistors. Transistors are the key components in most modern
electronic circuits, and are commonly used to amplify or to switch electronic analog and
digital signals. Besides the high-performance silicon transistors used in microprocessors or
amplifiers, designated by metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs)
and requiring processing temperatures exceeding 1000°C, other types of transistors are
available for large area electronics, where lower temperatures and costs are required.
Perhaps the most relevant are the thin-film transistors (TFTs), which are intimately associated with liquid crystal displays (LCDs), where they allow one to switch each pixel of an
image on or off independently.
