AbstractOrganic Thin-Film Transistors (OTFTs) in top-contact configuration and Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) structures with different organic dielectrics as the gate insulator have been fabricated using the same organic semiconductor layer, pentacene, in order to investigate the changes in the electrical behavior by varying the interface properties. A gold bottom gate electrode was sputtered on a glass substrate whereas gold source and drain were thermally evaporated onto the pentacene layer. Several organic dielectrics have been tested as insulating layers, namely were poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyvinyl alcohol with ammonium dichromate (PVAad) as a cross-linking agent, poly (4-vinyl phenol) (PVP), poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and poly(methylsilsesquioxane) (pMSSQ). The interesting differences found out by varying the interface confirm that the chemical-physical interaction between semiconductor and dielectric is crucial for the conduction mechanisms of the charge carriers. In particular we observed that the electron traps can influence not only the electron transport, therefore allowing a more or less marked ambipolar behavior, but also affect the hole transport.

We report clear room temperature ambipolar transport in ambient-air processed methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with aluminum oxide gate-insulators and indium-zinc-oxide source/drain electrodes. The high ionicity of the MAPbI3 leads to p-type and n-type self-doping, and depending on the applied bias we show that simultaneous or selective transport of electrons and/or holes is possible in a single MAPbI3 TFT. The electron transport (n-type), however, is slightly more pronounced than the hole transport (p-type), and the respective channel resistances range from 5–11 and 44–55 MΩ/μm. Both p-type and n-type TFTs show good on-state characteristics for low driving voltages. It is also shown here that the on-state current of the n-type and p-type TFTs is highest in the slightly PbI2-rich and MAI-rich films, respectively, suggesting controllable n-type or p-type transport by varying precursor ratio.

The suboptimal molecular ordering of by PF2-BDD quick freezing during hot-solution spin-coating hindered an efficient hole transport, whereas the more crystalline structure of PT2-BDD resulted in higher hole mobility in the corresponding OTFT.

Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) based on dioctylbenzothienobenzothiophene (C8BTBT) and copper (Cu) electrodes were fabricated. For improving the electrical performance of the original devices, the different modifications were attempted to insert in three different positions including semiconductor/electrode interface, semiconductor bulk inside and semiconductor/insulator interface. In detail, 4,4′,4′′-tris[3-methylpheny(phenyl)amino] triphenylamine (m-MTDATA) was applied between C8BTBTand Cu electrodes as hole injection layer (HIL). Moreover, the fluorinated copper phthalo-cyanine (F16CuPc) was inserted in C8BTBT/SiO2 interface to form F16CuPc/C8BTBT heterojunction or C8BTBT bulk to form C8BTBT/F16CuPc/C8BTBT sandwich configuration. Our experiment shows that, the sandwich structured OTFTs have a significant performance enhancement when appropriate thickness modification is chosen, comparing with original C8BTBT devices. Then, even the low work function metal Cu was applied, a normal p-type operate-mode C8BTBT-OTFT with mobility as high as 2.56 cm2/Vs has been fabricated.
