Triboelectric‐TFT Flip‐Flop for Bistable Latching of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Danick Briand, Herbert Shea, Rubaiyet Iftekharul Haque, Alexis Pierre Henri Marette, Xiaobin Ji, Ronan Julien Hinchet

A high‐voltage flip‐flop combining two self‐powered soft sensors with a flexible high‐voltage thin film transistor (HVTFT) is reported, and is used to electrically latch dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) in zero and high‐strain states. Two touch‐actuat ...

Yttrium zinc tin oxide high voltage thin film transistors

Danick Briand, Herbert Shea, Alexis Pierre Henri Marette

We demonstrate that doping the semiconductor zinc tin oxide (ZTO) with yttrium leads to a high-voltage thin film transistor (HVTFT) with enhanced switching performance. Adding 5% yttrium leads to an increase in the on-off ratio from 40 to 1000 at an operat ...

High voltage metal oxide thin film transistors to drive arrays of dielectric elastomer actuators

Alexis Pierre Henri Marette

This thesis advances the field of high-voltage thin film transistors (HVTFTs) and dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) by demonstrating a strategy for low-voltage addressing of an array of high voltage soft actuators suspended on a flexible substrate. Fi ...

Flexible Zinc-Tin Oxide Thin Film Transistors Operating at 1 kV for Integrated Switching of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators Arrays

Danick Briand, Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Alexis Pierre Henri Marette, Nadine Besse

Flexible high-voltage thin- lm transistors (HVTFTs) operating at more than 1 kV are integrated with compliant dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) to create a exible array of 16 independent actuators. To allow for high-voltage operation, the HVTFT implemen ...
