This paper presents a finite-element-based two-dimensional numerical simulation study of the vertical channel engineering approaches for controlling the short-channel effects (SCEs) in organic transistors based on thin-film transistor technology (OTFTs). The impact of gate-oxide thickness T_Ox scaling and usage of high-permittivity gate dielectric material has been analyzed for a bottom-contact organic thin-film transistors at channel length of 0.7 μm. The techniques have been used to investigate the impact on drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL), sub-threshold slope, and I_On/I_Off ratio. The results have shown a significant reduction in values of DIBL and sub-threshold slope in short-channel OTFTs when either of the channel engineering techniques are employed. A high I_On/I_Off ratio of the order of ~10⁷ has been achieved using a high-permittivity gate-oxide material. It has been observed that using a high-permittivity gate dielectric material, apeak value of I_On/I_Off ratio can be achieved for an equivalent oxide thickness of 5 nm. The results suggest that the desirable transistor performance can be achieved through proper selection of gate-oxide material and thickness. Keywords: DIBL, high-kappa gate dielectric, leakage currents, sub-threshold.
