Low-voltage organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) with solution-processed high-k dielectric cum interface engineering.January 2013 (has links)
儘管在提高有機薄膜晶體管(OTFTs)的性能方面已經取得了顯著地進步,但是由傳統二氧化矽介電層的低面電容密度引起的高驅動電壓一直是阻礙其在實際應用中發展的絆腳石。因此,開發具有低成本、高介電常數等特點的新型材料對於學術界和工業界都具有非常重要的意義。 / 本文首先介紹了一種簡單的溶液法在低溫下制備高介電常数的Al₂O{U+ABB7}/TiO{U+2093}(ATO)材料體系, 并詳細表徵和討論了它的介電性能。通過運用ATO作為介電層,我們成功地製備了低電壓銅酞菁(CuPc)基OTFT。有趣的是,該低電壓器件顯示出優異的性能,並且遠遠超過在二氧化矽上製備的器件性能。這個結果似乎和報道的結果相矛盾,因為高介電常數往往對器件性能造成不利影響。本文就此异常現象進行了詳細研究。基於初期生長的研究表明,在ATO表面上,CuPc分子組裝成有利於載流子輸運的棒狀晶體,并形成網狀結構。相反,在SiO₂表面上CuPc分子卻形成由無定形結構組成的孤立小島。此外,在ATO上還觀察到了更好的金屬/有機分子接觸,有利於載流子的注入。以上研究表明溶液法製備的ATO在实现高性能、低電壓的OTFT方面有著非常實用的前景。 / 此外,界面的性質對決定OTFT的電學性能非常關鍵。因此研究界面功能化對提高器件性能的作用也非常重要。在應用十八烷基磷酸(ODPA)和原位改性的Cu(M-Cu)分別對介電層/半導體、電極/半導體界面進行修飾后,并五苯(pentacene)基OTFT的電學性能得到大幅提高。此外,通過採用一薄層金覆蓋的M-Cu做電極(Au/M-Cu),器件性能得到進一步提升。本文就其詳細的機理進行了討論。 / 最后,由於具有低成本,可捲曲,可大面積加工等特點,柔性有機電子器件引起了廣汎關注。實現柔性OTFT的關鍵問題之一就是介電層同柔性襯底之間的結合。在此,我們成功地將ODPA和ATO集成到金覆蓋的柔性聚酰亞胺襯底上。通過使用Au/M-Cu做電極,柔性pentacene TFT顯現出優異的電學性能。另外,本文就器件的機械柔性及可靠性也做了詳細地探討,從而展示了一個實現低成本高性能柔性OTFT的有效途徑。 / Although impressive progress has been made in improving the performance of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs), the high operation voltage resulting from the low gate areal capacitance of traditional SiO₂ remains a severe limitation that hinders OTFTs’ development in practical applications. In this regard, developing new materials with high-k characteristics at low cost is of great scientific and technological importance in the area of both academia and industry. / In this thesis, we first describe a simple solution-based method to fabricate a high-k bilayer Al₂O{U+ABB7}/TiO{U+2093} (ATO) dielectric system at low temperature. Then the dielectric properties of the ATO are characterized and discussed in detail. Furthermore, by employing the high-k ATO as gate dielectric, low-voltage copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) based OTFTs are successfully developed. Interestingly, the obtained low-voltage CuPc TFT exhibits outstanding electrical performance, which is even higher than the device fabricated on traditional low-k SiO₂. The above results seem to be contradictory to the reported results due to the fact that high-k usually shows adverse effect on the device performance. This abnormal phenomenon is then studied in detail. Characterization on the initial growth shows that the CuPc molecules assemble in a “rod-like“ nano crystal with interconnected network on ATO, which probably promotes the charge carrier transport, whereas, they form isolated small islands with amorphous structure onSiO₂. In addition, a better metal/organic contact is observed on ATO, which benefits the charge carrier injection. Our studies suggest that the low-temperature, solution-processed high-k ATO is a promising candidate for fabrication of high-performance, low-voltage OTFTs. / Furthermore, it is well known that the properties of the dielectric/semiconductor and electrode/semiconductor interfaces are crucial in controlling the electrical properties of OTFTs. Hence, investigation the effects of interfaces engineering on improving the electrical characteristics of OTFTs is of great technological importance. For the dielectric/semiconductor interface, an octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is used to modify the surface of ATO (ODPA/ATO). For the electrode/semiconductor interface, a simple in-situ modified Cu (M-Cu) is employed as source-drain (S/D) electrodes in stead of commonly used Au. The electrical characteristics of pentacene TFT are drastically enhanced upon interfaces modification. Moreover, by encapsulating the M-Cu with a thin layer of Au (Au/M-Cu), the device performance is further improved. The detailed mechanism is systematically explored. / Finally, organic electronic devices on flexible plastic substrates have attracted much attention due to their low-cost, rollability, large-area processability, and so on. One of the most critical issues in realization flexible OTFTs is the integration of gate dielectrics with flexible substrates. We have successfully incorporated the ODPA/ATO with Au coated flexible polyimide (PI) substrate. By using Au/M-Cu as S/D electrode, the flexible pentacene TFTs show outstanding electrical performance. In addition, the mechanical flexibility and reliability of the devices are studied in detail. Our approach demonstrates an effective way to realize low-cost, high-performance flexible OTFTs. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed

Survey of techniques for improving performance of organic transistorsChien, Yu-Mo, 1980- January 2007 (has links)
Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with region-regular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (rr-P3HT) as active semiconductor were fabricated and characterized. Various methods for improving device performance were investigated. These methods include: the use of dip coating technique (rather than spin coating), thermal annealing, polymer doping with iron chloride (FeCl 3), and stamping of "dry" poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamp before polymer deposition. / Through experimental results, it is clear that thermal annealing increases charge carrier mobility of P3HT OFETs. On average an increase of four times in charge mobility was observed after thermal annealing was performed. Dip coated samples also resulted in higher mobility values than spin coated samples. Highest charge mobility value achieved were was ∼0.02 cm2/Vs for dip coated samples, where as the highest value for spin coated devices was around 6e-3 cm2/Vs. / "Dry" stamping of a PDMS devices yielded devices with higher mobility values by around 100% compared to unstamped counterparts. These devices also exhibited lower parasitic leakage currents. / Devices doped with FeCl3 did not perform very well. It is suspected that it was increased so much that it became impossible to turn off the devices.

Device engineering of organic field-effect transistors toward complementary circuitsZhang, Xiaohong 24 March 2009 (has links)
Organic complementary circuits are attracting significant attention due to their high power efficiency and operation robustness, driven by the demands for low-cost, large-area and flexible devices. Previous demonstrations of organic complementary circuits often show high operating voltage, small noise margins, low dc gain, and electrical instability such as hysteresis and threshold voltage shifts. There are two obstacles to developing organic complementary circuits: the lack of high-performance n-channel OFET devices, and the processing difficulty of integrating both n- and p-channel organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) on the same substrate. The operating characteristics of OFETs are often governed by the boundary conditions imposed by the device architecture, such as interfaces and contacts instead of the properties of the semiconductor material. Therefore, the performance of OFETs is often limited if either of the essential interfaces or contacts next to the semiconductor and the channel are not optimized.
This dissertation presents research work performed on OFETs and OFET-based complementary inverters in an attempt to address some of these knowledge issues. The objective is to develop high-performance OFETs, with a focus on n-channel OFETs through interface engineering both at the interface between the organic semiconductor and the source/drain electrodes, and at the interface between the organic semiconductor and gate dielectric. Through interface engineering, both p- and n-channel high-performance low-voltage OFETs are realized with high mobilities, low threshold voltages, low subthreshold slopes, and high on/off current ratios. Optimization at the gate dielectric/semiconductor also gives OFET devices excellent reproducibility and good electrical stability under multiple test cycles and continuous electrical stress. Finally, with the interfaces and contacts optimized for both p- and n-channel charge transport, the integration of n- and p-channel OFETs with comparable performance are demonstrated in complementary inverters. The research achieves inverters with a high-gain, a low operation voltage, good electrical stability (absence of hysteresis), and a high switching-speed. A preliminary study of the encapsulation of OFETs and inverters with an additional protective layer is also presented to validate the practicality of organic devices containing air-sensitive n-channel transport.
