چکیده
We report on infrared (IR) spectromicroscopy of the electronic excitations in nanometer-thick accumulation layers in field-effect transistor (FET) devices based on poly(3-hexylthiophene). IR data allows us to explore the charge injection landscape and uncovers the critical role of the gate insulator in defining relevant length scales. This work demonstrates the unique potential of IR spectroscopy for the investigation of physical phenomena at the nanoscale occurring at the semiconductor-insulator interface in FET devices.

Light quasiparticles dominate electronic transport in molecular crystal field-effect transistors.
We report on an infrared spectroscopy study of mobile holes in the accumulation layer of organic field-effect transistors based on rubrene single crystals. Our data indicate that both transport and infrared properties of these transistors at room temperature are governed by light quasiparticles in molecular orbital bands with the effective masses m* comparable to free electron mass. Furthermore...
متن کاملBallistic (n,0) Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors' I-V Characteristics: A Comparison of n=3a+1 and n=3a+2
Due to emergence of serious obstacles by scaling of the transistors dimensions, it has been obviously proved that silicon technology should be replaced by a new one having a high ability to overcome the barriers of scaling to nanometer regime. Among various candidates, carbon nanotube (CNT) field effect transistors are introduced as the most promising devices for substituting the silicon-based ...
متن کاملUltra-flexible organic field-effect transistors embedded at a neutral strain position
We fabricated ultra-flexible pentacene field-effect transistors (FETs) with a mobility of 0.5 cm/Vs and an on/off ratio of 10, which are functional at the bending radius less than 1 mm. The transistors are manufactured on a 13-μm-thick polyimide film and covered by a 13-μm-thick poly-chloro-para-xylylene encapsulation layer so that transistors can be embedded at a neutral position. This sandwic...

An overview of recent results concerning THz detection related to plasma nonlinearities in nanometer field effect transistors is presented. In particular nonlinearity and dynamic range of these detectors are discussed. We present also results on THz detection by Graphene field effect transistors. As a conclusion, we will show one of the first real world application of the FET THz detectors: a d...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional charge transport in disordered organic semiconductors.
We analyze the effect of carrier confinement on the charge-transport properties of organic field-effect transistors. Confinement is achieved experimentally by the use of semiconductors of which the active layer is only one molecule thick. The two-dimensional confinement of charge carriers provides access to a previously unexplored charge-transport regime and is reflected by a reduced temperatur...
