Semiconducting Material

Organic semiconducting material based sensors have been used for various environmental applications. Organic field effect transistors (OFETs) also find their applications in explosive vapor detection and total ionizing radiation dose determination. OFETs using poly 3-hexylthiophene (P3HT), a p-type organic semiconductor material and CuII tetraphenylporphyrin ( CuTPP ) composite as their active material were investigated as sensors for detection of various nitro-based explosive vapors with greater than parts per billion sensitivity range. Significant changes, suitable for sensor response, were observed in ON current (Ion) and transconductance (gm) extracted from electrical characteristics of the OFET after exposure to vapors of various explosive compounds. However, a similar device response was not observed to strong oxidizing agents such as benzoquinone (BQ) and benzophenone (BP). Also, the use of organic semiconducting material sensors for determining total ionizing radiation dose was studied, wherein the conductivity of the material was measured as a function of total ionizing radiation dose. An organic semiconducting material resistor was exposed to γ-radiation and it was observed that the change in resistance was proportional to the ionizing radiation dose. Changes in various parameters extracted from electrical characteristics of the OFET after γ-radiation exposure resulted in an improved sensitivity. To protect the organic semiconductor layer from the degradation in the ambient the sensors were passivated with a thin layer of silicon nitride.

A gated four probe measurement technique to isolate contact resistances in field effect measurementson disordered organic semiconductors was investigated. Organic field effect transistors (OFETs) were prepared with two additional electrodes in the contact geometry protruding into the source-drain channel to monitor the variation in potential across the channel. Two high impedance electrometers were used to determine the potential at the contacts. This technique allows to directly determine the magnitude of the parasitic contact resistances between metal contact and organic semiconductor from the drop in potential at the contact regions. The effects of contact resistances, which can falsify measurements on bulk transport parameters such as the field effect mobility, can be then eliminated during material characterization. Additionally, the temperature and electric field dependence of the contact resistances offers valuable information about the charge injection and extraction processes between metal and organic semiconductor. The effects of the four probe geometry, specifically the effect of the channel electrodes on the current-voltage characteristics, of hole transport in a polythiophene (P3HT) OFET with Au contacts were investigated and found not to influence device performance, except at currents « 1 nA. The IV characteristics were shown to follow the expected FET behaviour. From the variation in potential along the channel it was found that contact resistances at the source contact (charge injecting contact) are minimal while contact resistances at thedrain contact (charge extracting contact) are significant, resulting in a much lower effective sourcedrain voltage than that applied to the device.
