Two-Dimensional Carrier Distribution in Top-Gate Polymer Field-Effect Transistors: Correlation between Width of Density of Localized States and Urbach Energy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A general semiconductor-independent two-dimensional character of the carrier distribution in top-gate polymer field-effect transistors is revealed by analysing temperature-dependent transfer characteristics and the sub-bandgap absorption tails of the polymer semiconductors. A correlation between the extracted width of the density of states and the Urbach energy is presented, corroborating the 2D accumulation layer and demonstrating an intricate connection between optical measurements concerning disorder and charge transport in transistors.

Molecular geometry fluctuation model for the mobility of conjugated polymers.
We present a model to describe electrical transport in dense films of conjugated polymers. The essential physical features of the model are as follows: (i) thermal fluctuations in the molecular geometry of the polymer modify the energy levels of localized electronic states in the material, and (ii) the primary restoring force for these fluctuations is steric, which leads to spatial correlation ...
متن کاملBand bending engineering in p-i-n gate all around Carbon nanotube field effect transistors by multi-segment gate
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 ...

متن کاملCurrent saturation in zero-bandgap, top-gated graphene field-effect transistors.
The novel electronic properties of graphene, including a linear energy dispersion relation and purely two-dimensional structure, have led to intense research into possible applications of this material in nanoscale devices. Here we report the first observation of saturating transistor characteristics in a graphene field-effect transistor. The saturation velocity depends on the charge-carrier co...
متن کاملUtilization of a buffered dielectric to achieve high field-effect carrier mobility in graphene transistors.
We utilize an organic polymer buffer layer between graphene and conventional gate dielectrics in top-gated graphene transistors. Unlike other insulators, this dielectric stack does not significantly degrade carrier mobility, allowing for high field-effect mobilities to be retained in top-gate operation. This is demonstrated in both two-point and four-point analysis and in the high-frequency ope...
