Abstract

In this paper, the hysteresis characteristics by bias stress in organic thin film transistors using inkjet printing were investigated. Electron trapping increased threshold voltage for positive gate bias stress and hole trapping decreased threshold voltage for negative gate bias stress. From these phenomena, highly reproducible measurement method which minimized threshold voltage shift by choosing the proper range of gate voltage was suggested. Using this measurement method, we found that electron trapping as well as hole trapping had important influence on hysteresis characteristics.
