Two-dimensional charge transport in molecularly ordered polymer field-effect transistors

چکیده
Nanometer-thick Langmuir–Schäfer monolayers of an electron transporting polymer display charge transport, optical and electro-optical properties that do not depend on the number of layers deposited one above the other. This phenomenon can be rationalized with the micro-structure of the specific multi-layers, which introduces an interlayer hopping penalty confining transport to a neat 2D regime, with a channel not extending beyond a single B3 nm thick polymer strand, as confirmed by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Such findings are critical to establish a quantitative structure–property nexus in high mobility polymer semiconductors and in the control of charge transport at a molecular scale.

Two-Dimensional Carrier Distribution in Top-Gate Polymer Field-Effect Transistors: Correlation between Width of Density of Localized States and Urbach Energy
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 2...
متن کاملInvestigation of the dimensionality of charge transport in organic field effect transistors
Ever since the first experimental investigations of organic field effect transistors (OFETs) the dimensionality of charge transport has alternately been described as two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D). More recently, researchers have turned to an analytical analysis of the temperature-dependent transfer characteristics to classify the dimensionality as either 2D or 3D as well as to...
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...
متن کاملEffect of Polymer Gate Dielectrics on Charge Transport in Carbon Nanotube Network Transistors: Low-k Insulator for Favorable Active Interface.
Charge transport in carbon nanotube network transistors strongly depends on the properties of the gate dielectric that is in direct contact with the semiconducting carbon nanotubes. In this work, we investigate the dielectric effects on charge transport in polymer-sorted semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (s-SWNT-FETs) by using three different polymer insulato...
متن کاملMultiscale modeling of nanowire-based Schottky-barrier field-effect transistors for sensor applications.
We present a theoretical framework for the calculation of charge transport through nanowire-based Schottky-barrier field-effect transistors that is conceptually simple but still captures the relevant physical mechanisms of the transport process. Our approach combines two approaches on different length scales: (1) the finite element method is used to model realistic device geometries and to calc...
