Abstract

In this paper we examine the possibility to simulate and study the behaviour of a fiber-based Textile Transistor in a commercial TCAD system. We also examine the capability of such transistors to operate in sufficiently low voltages, aiming to the potential realization of low-voltage wearable textiles in the future. We have seen that it is potentially feasible to build transistors which can operate in low voltages by using typical materials. Even if some of the selected typical materials have to be replaced by others more suitable for practical use in the textile industry, the simulation is a good starting point for estimating the device typical operation and parameters.
