Effects of Blended Poly(3-hexylthiophene) and 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene Organic Semiconductors on the Photoresponse Characteristics of Thin-Film Transistors

Organic Thin-Film Transistors and TIPS-Pentacene

TIPS-Pentacene, an organic semiconductor characterized by its good electronic properties, solubility, and stability, is used primarily in organic thin-film transistors (OTFT). This research seeks to create an OTFT by crafting a stencil, depositing the source and drain onto a substrate’s surface, and processing TIPS-Pentacene onto the channel between them. In addition, if time permits, the elect...

Effects of the F4TCNQ-Doped Pentacene Interlayers on Performance Improvement of Top-Contact Pentacene-Based Organic Thin-Film Transistors

In this paper, the top-contact (TC) pentacene-based organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) with a tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F₄TCNQ)-doped pentacene interlayer between the source/drain electrodes and the pentacene channel layer were fabricated using the co-evaporation method. Compared with a pentacene-based OTFT without an interlayer, OTFTs with an F₄TCNQ:pentacene ratio of 1:1 showed co...

Effect of Surface Energy on Pentacene Thin-Film Growth and Organic Thin Film Transistor Characteristics

In this study, we discuss pentacene-based organic thin films grown on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-treated dielectric with various functional groups and molecular lengths. The functional groups and molecular lengths on the dielectric surface were modified using a SAM treatment followed by ultra violet (UV) light exposure. Surface energy was used to observe the surface polarity variation dur...

Effects of Au Source/Drain Thickness on Electrical Characteristics of Pentacene Thin-film Transistors

We investigate the electrical characteristics of top-contact pentacene thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated with various thicknesses of the Au source and the drain (S/D) electrodes, i.e., 20, 30, 50, 70, and 105 nm. Pentacene TFTs exhibit enhancements in the drain current and the fieldeffect mobility with increasing thickness of Au S/D electrodes up to 50 nm, after which the TFT performance ...
