초록

Low-operating voltage organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have been realized with high dielectric constant (${\kappa}$) polymer such as cyanoethylated poly vinyl alcohol (CR-V, ${\kappa}=12$). Since the $high-{\kappa}$polymers are likely to contain water and ionic impurities, large hysteresis and considerable leakage current are frequently observed in OFETs. To solve these problems, we cross-linked the CR-V by using a cross-linking agent. Cross-linked CR-V dielectrics showed high dielectric constant of 11.1 and good insulating properties, resulting in a high capacitance ($81nF/cm^{2}$ at 1MHz) at 120 nm of dielectric thickness. Pentacene FETs with cross-linked CR-V dielectrics exhibited high carrier mobility ($0.72\;cm^{2}/Vs$), small subthreshold swing (185 mV/dec) and little hysteresis at low-operating voltage (${\Leq}-3V$).
