Current saturation and Coulomb interactions in organic single-crystal transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electronic transport through rubrene single-crystal field-effect transistors (FETs) is investigated experimentally in the high carrier density regime (n ≃ 0.1 carrier molecule−1). In this regime, we find that the current does not increase linearly with the density of charge carriers, and tends to saturate. At the same time, the activation energy for transport unexpectedly increases with increasing n. We perform a theoretical analysis in terms of a well-defined microscopic model for interacting Fröhlich polarons, which quantitatively accounts for our experimental observations. This work is particularly significant for our understanding of electronic transport through organic FETs.

A quantum-mechanical approach to the calculation of electronic noise for nanoscale devices is presented. This method is based on the nonequilibrium Green's-function formalism with electron-phonon scattering mechanisms and takes the effects of the Pauli exclusion principle and the long-range Coulomb interactions into account. As examples the drain current noise characteristics of silicon nanowir...

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 ...

Electrically driven organic lasers are among the best lasing devices due to their rich variety of emission colors as well as other advantages, including printability, flexibility, and stretchability. However, electrically driven lasing in organic materials has not yet been demonstrated because of serious luminescent efficiency roll-off under high current density. Recently, we found that the org...
متن کاملInfluence of the gate leakage current on the stability of organic single-crystal field-effect transistors
We investigate the effect of a small leakage current through the gate insulator on the stability of organic single-crystal field-effect transistors sFETsd. We find that, irrespective of the specific organic molecule and dielectric used, leakage current flowing through the gate insulator results in an irreversible degradation of the single-crystal FET performance. This degradation occurs even wh...
