Solvent-assisted Reduction in the Lateral Leakage Current in Solution-Processed Organic Transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report an effective method for bringing about a significant reduction in the lateral leakage current passing through the non-channel region of an organic semiconductor through an organic solvent vapor treatment. The hydroxyl-containing dimethyl-sulfoxide molecules interrupt the bulk charge transport after undergoing solvent vapor treatment and reduce the lateral leakage current effectively, but the channel current in the solution-processed organic thin-film transistors is not degraded. The lateral leakage current was found to be 20 times lower compared with the case of the non-treated device. A highly improved on/off current ratio was achieved by reducing the lateral leakage current through a solvent vapor treatment.

The p-i-n carbon nanotube (CNT) devices suffer from low ON/OFF current ratio and small saturation current. In this paper by band bending engineering, we improved the device performance of p-i-n CNT field effect transistors (CNTFET). A triple gate all around structure is proposed to manage the carrier transport along the channel. We called this structure multi-segment gate (MSG) CNTFET. Band to ...

Identification of solvents for dissolving polymer dielectrics and organic semiconductors is necessary for the fabrication of solution-processed organic field effect transistors (OFETs). In addition to solubility and printability of a solvent, orthogonality is particularly important when forming multilayer structure from solutions. Currently, the process of finding orthogonal solvents is empiric...
