A library of statistically random pentafluorostyrene (PFS) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) copolymers with narrow molecular weight distributions was produced, using nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP) to study the effect of polymer composition on the performance of bottom-gate top-contact organic thin-film transistors, when utilized as the dielectric medium. Contact angle measurements confirmed the ability to tune the surface properties of copolymer thin films through variation of its PFS/MMA composition, while impedance spectroscopy determined the effect of this variation on dielectric properties. Bottom-gate, top-contact copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) based organic thin-film transistors were fabricated using the random copolymers as a dielectric layer. We found that increasing the PFS content led to increased field-effect mobility, until a point after which the CuPc no longer adhered to the polymer dielectric.

Polystyrene-based masks are fabricated to produce top-contact high-resolution (5 μm) electrodes. With this mask, the mobility of DPA-based thin-film transistors could reach 19.22 cm2 V−1 s−1, which is a new breakthrough for DPA thin-film transistors.

We report on the fabrication of dual-gate pentacene organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) using a plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposited (PEALD) 150 nm thick Al2O3 as a bottom gate dielectric and a 300 nm thick parylene or a PEALD 200 nm thick Al2O3 as both a top gate dielectric and a passivation layer. The threshold voltage (Vth) of OTFT with a 300 nm thick parylene as a top gate dielectric is changed from 4.7 V to 1.3 V and that with a PEALD 200 nm thick Al2O3 as a top gate dielectric is changed from 1.95 V to -9.8 V when the voltage bias of top gate electrode is changed from -10 V to 10 V. The change of Vth of OTFT with the dual-gate structure has been successfully understood by an analysis of electrostatic potential.
