Preparation of Discotic Liquid Crystals with Application to Organic Thin-Film Transistor

The thesis is divided into two parts. One is about the preparation of discotic liquid crystals Acid-6. The other is about the growth of Acid-6 thin film by thermal evaporation on silicon oxide surfaces and modified silicon oxide surfaces such as self-assembled monolayer(SAM) in different temperature. The surface morphology and molecular orientation of the thin film were studied by Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM) , X-ray Diffraction (XRD) , and then they were applicated to organic thin film transistor and measured properties by Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer.
In the second part of our research, our expectative characteristics was not observed in different temperature and substructure. In the other side, we guessed that because discotic liquid crystals Acid-6 is negative semiconductor materials, so it is susceptible to hydrosphere, thus we can¡¦t observe the electric characteristic of OTFT in the atmosphere. In addition, due to discotic liquid crystals Acid-6 have biggish moleculer weight, thus its viscosity was so big that cause the diameter of Acid-6 crystals to be too small. Therefore, it influenced the carrier mobility. Finally, from the aspect of procedure about fabrication of the devices we can discuss whether this parameter of this device can apply to OTFT.
