Source energy barriers enable contact-controlled transistors to achieve excellent performance as pixel drivers due to early saturation and flat output curves. Their low off-state leakage is attractive for switch applications; however, low on-current may limit transient performance. Introducing a dual-work-function contact significantly improves transient behavior for a range of barrier heights.
