Engineering current-voltage linearity in TFTs for analog and neuromorphic computing

Many emerging analog and neuromorphic applications would benefit from a fully linear dependence of a transistor's output on its input for reduced distortion and facile design of linear functions. We show how a new TFT structure, the multimodal transistor, can achieve a linearly dependent drain current in saturation (constant transconductance) with direct proportionality over a large range of input voltages.
