This paper presents finite element-based numerical simulation and performance analysis of dual and single gate pentacene-based organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) using technology computer-aided design (TCAD) tools. Electrical characteristics of the devices have been simulated using 2D numerical device simulation software ATLAS™ from Silvaco International. Also, device parameters like threshold voltage, mobility, transconductance, subthreshold swing and current on/off ratio of the single and dual gate OTFTs have been extracted and compared. © 2020 World Scientific Publishing Company.
