[Review] Organic Transistors Compact Models

Review of DC and AC Core Compact Models and Device Performance in Organic Transistors

Abstract: Organic transistors offer lightweight, flexible, and low-cost platforms for large-area electronics, making them particularly attractive for applications in wearables and biosensing. Their effective use requires detailed characterization and accurate simulation, with compact models providing the foundation for predicting device behavior and enabling reliable circuit-level design. Yet, the diversity of organic semiconductors and the complexity of charge transport demand multiple core modeling approaches, each built on distinct physical assumptions. First, this review summarizes reported lateral and vertical organic transistor architectures, outlining their structural principles and material implementations. It then considers core compact physics-based models for both DC and AC operation, emphasizing their formulations, underlying assumptions, and the physical effects they incorporate. Finally, it reviews reported DC and AC characteristics across diverse material systems, with particular attention to bias-normalized parameters that enable consistent and meaningful cross-study comparisons. By exploring existing core models and performance analyses, this review highlights the fundamental physical principles incorporated into reported compact models and bridges device-level physics with application-oriented circuit design. It offers a comparative perspective on modeling strategies suitable for flexible and biointegrated electronics, while identifying key overlaps in the literature and providing a foundational framework for efficient future model development. Additionally, the review underscores the importance of harmonized terminology to accelerate the development of next-generation models and enhance consistency across studies.

About the author

Aleksander Sadowski is the founder of ALSADO, the world’s first company offering professional FreeCAD support in the industry. He is studying mechanical engineering at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and has been actively involved in the FreeCAD community for many years. Aleksander is developing a workflow for product development in mechanical engineering, fully composed of open-source-software, including FreeCAD, LibreOffice, PrePoMax and OpenRadioss. Based on that he is developing an open-source-software to make collaboration in engineering teams more accessible to manufacturing start-ups and small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

In the past, Sadowski worked in product safety at the machine manufacturer GROB and at a company, that specializes in developing simulation software for defense applications. He has been collaborating with Altair, the association of German engineers (VDI) and the German space agency (DLR) to promote the use of open-source software in the industry, especially in mechanical engineering, automotive and aerospace. Aleksander Sadowski is the inventor of a safety screw, that he developed with the help of an open-source-workflow.

Through his books, Aleksander aims to reduce the beginner learning challenges and frustration by teaching a systematic process of working with FreeCAD consisting of most-used functions and a standard modeling workflow which he has refined through his years of experience of teaching FreeCAD in a productive and mission-critical environment. The books make this knowledge accessible to everyone, not just the companies.

CMOS SKY130 Primitives measured at cryogenic temperatures

NIST, (2023: Part of CHIPS METIS Data Collection)

Version: 1.1. Revised: 2024-03-27

DOI: 10.18434/mds2-2997 (Accessed 2026-01-03)

Abstract: SKY130 is an open source complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology manufactured by Skywater Technology (SKY) in its facility in Bloomington, Minnesota. Since it is an open source technology, there are no legal restrictions on its characterization, unlike in typical foundry semiconductor technologies. To facilitate the development of cryogenic electronics, this data set includes measurements of devices manufactured in SKY130 at low temperatures.
