Information on localized states at the interfaces of solution-processed organic semiconductors and polymer gate insulators is critical to the development of printable organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with good electrical performance. This paper reports on the use of impedance spectroscopy to determine the energy distribution of the density of interface states in organic metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) with three different polymer gate insulators, including polyimide, poly(4-vinylphenol), and poly(methylsilsesquioxane). The findings of the study indicate that the impedance characteristics of the P3HT MIS capacitors are strongly affected by patterning and thermal annealing of the organic semiconductor films. To extract the interface-state distributions from the conductance of the P3HT MIS capacitors, an equivalent circuit model with continuum trap states is used, which also takes the band-bending fluctuations into consideration. In addition, the relationship between the determined interface states and the electrical characteristics of P3HT-based OFETs is investigated.

We report on the influence of the low deposition temperature of ZnO as semiconductor layer on the electrical characteristics of metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures. The ZnO films were deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering with variation of temperature from 40°C, 60°C, 80°C, 100°C and 120°C. PMMA were used as insulator layer in the MIS structures. It is found that the ZnO films grown at 120°C has better crystallinity compared to other temperature. I-V characteristics results shown that the different deposition temperature of ZnO films affect the performance of MIS.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy and ellipsometry measurements were performed at Cr-SiOx, and Yb-SiOx interfaces, which are being considered for metal/insulator/semiconductor (MIS) solar cell applications. These measurements have led to a knowledge of instability mechanisms associated with MIS solar cells. The dynamics of the metal-oxide interface reduce the effective thickness of the insulating SiOx layer. Typically, in a 3 week period after fabrication the oxide thickness decreases by about 2 Å for ytterbium MIS structures and by less than 1 Å for chromium MIS structures. A structural equilibrium is reached thereafter. To explore further the dependence of MIS Schottky barrier heights on oxide thickness variations (from about 5 to 20 Å) a comprehensive charge balance analysis was performed at a general MIS interface. This theoretical study supports experimental data on barrier heights and also on instabilities. In addition, the application of the theoretical model to the experimental barrier heights has yielded quantitative information regarding the density of interface states at the SiOx,–Si interface.

AbstractMetal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) planar capacitors were fabricated in order to systematically investigate the effect of Cu and water in Cu/low-k structures by Triangular Voltage Sweep (TVS) measurements. We were able to resolve peculiar features in the TVS traces of Cu and water contaminated samples, which were related to Cu ions and protons, respectively. We demonstrate that these features can be used to distinguish the two ionic species. As these features do not depend on the specific dielectric, we provide a methodology to detect and distinguish Cu and water in porous low-k materials embedded in MIS structures.
