In this study, organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) using a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) material as an active layer and SiO₂ as a gate insulator were fabricated with varying active layer thicknesses and channel lengths. Further, using a thermal evaporation method in a high-vacuum system, we fabricated a CuPc FET device of the top-contact type and used Au materials for the source and drain electrodes. In order to discuss the channel formation and FET characteristics, we observed the typical current-voltage characteristics and calculated the threshold voltage of the CuPc FET device. We also found that the capacitance reached approximately 97 pF at a negative applied voltage and increased upon the accumulation of carriers at the interface of the metal and the CuPc material. We observed the typical behavior of a FET when used as an n-channel FET. Moreover, we calculated the threshold voltage to be about 15-20 V at V_DS = -80 V.

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are of interest for use in widely area electronic applications. We fabricated the organic field-effect transistor based a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) as an active layer on the silicon substrate. The CuPc FET device was made a topcontact type and the substrate temperature was room temperature and $150^{\circ}C$. The CuPc thickness was 40 nm, and the channel length was $50{\mu}m$, channel width was 3 mm. We observed the typical current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and capacitance-voltage (C-V) in CuPc FET and we calculated the effective mobility with each device. Also, we observed the AFM images with different substrate temperature.

Catalytic combustion of acetaldehyde has been investigated as a representative of unpleasant odor by its reaction with metal-phthalocyanines(PC). The experiment was conducted at the reaction temperature of 200~41$0^{\circ}C$ and the concentratio of acetaldehyde in air at the range of 0.07~0.94 mole% The pretreated metal-PC has been characterized by UV-VIS and XRD analysis. According to this study catalytic activity of metal -PC was improved by air pretreatment at 45$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. Under this pretreatment condition Co-PC and Cu($\alpha$)-PC were destroyed and new metal oxides were formed such as Co3O4 and CuO respectively. However Zn-PC retained its basic structure even afte air pretreatment. The order of catalytic activity on acetaldehyde combustion was summarized as follows : Zn-PC$\alpha$)-PC. It was found that the complete combustin of acetaldehyde with Cu($\alpha$)-PC was accomplished at its concentrations below 0.2mole% (32$0^{\circ}C$) and 0.6 mole%(35$0^{\circ}C$) in air.

We report the current transport properties of a normal metal/organic conductor/ superconductor tunnel junction as a novel high- $T_{c}$ superconducting three terminal device. The organic copper (II) phthalocyanine (Cu-Pc) layer was used far a polaronic quasiparticle (QP) injector. The injection of polaronic QP from the Cu-Pc interlayer into a superconductor $Bi_2$$Sr_2$$CaCu_2$ $O_{8+}$ $\delta$/(BSCCO) thin film generated a substantially larger nonequilibrium effect as compared to the normal QP injection current. The tunneling spectroscopy of an Au/cu-PC/BSCCO junction exhibited a zero bias conductance peak which may be due to Andreev reflection at a Cu-Pc/d-wave superconductor junction.n..

We report the space charge and the surface potential of the interface between metal and copper(Ⅱ)-phthalocyanine(CuPc) thin films by measuring the microwave reflection coefficients S/sub 11/ of thin films using a near-field scanning microwave microscope(NSMM). CuPc thin films were prepared on Au and Al thin films using a thermal evaporation method. Two kinds of CuPc thin films were prepared by different substrate heating conditions; one was deposited on preheated substrate at 150。C and the other was annealed after deposition. The microwave reflection coefficients S/sub 11/ of CuPc thin films were changed by the dependence on grain alignment due to heat treatment conditions and depended on thickness of CuPc thin films. Electrical conductivity of interface between metal and organic CuPc was changed by the space charge of the interface. By comparing reflection coefficient S/sub 11/ we observed the electrical conductivity changes of CuPc thin films by the changes of surface potential and space charge at the interface.

The surface structures of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin films deposited on sulphur-passivated and plane perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA)-covered InAs(100) surfaces have been studied by low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and van der Waals (vdW) intermolecular interaction energy calculations. The annealing to $300^{\circ}C$ and $450^{\circ}C$ of $(NH_4)_2S_x$-treated InAs(100) substrates produces a ($1{\times}1$) and ($2{\times}1$) S-passivated surface respectively. The CuPc deposition onto the PTCDA-covered InAs(100) surface leads to a ring-like diffraction pattern, indicating that the 2D ordered overlayer exists and the structure is dominantly determined by the intermolecular interactions rather than substrate-molecule interactions. However, no ordered LEED patterns were observed for the CuPc on S-passivated InAs(100) surface. The intermolecular interaction energy calculations have been carried out to rationalise this structural difference. In the case of CuPc unit cells on PTCDA layer, the planar layered CuPc structure is more stable than the $\alpha$-herringbone structure, consistent with the experimental LEED results. For CuPc unit cells on a S-($1{\times}1$) layer, however, the $\alpha$-herringbone structure is more stable than the planar layered structure, consistent with the absence of diffraction pattern. The results show that the lattice structure during the initial stages of thin film growth is influenced strongly by the intermolecular interactions at the interface.

We report the space charge and the surface potential of the interface between metal and CuPc according to isotropic property and different metal by measuring the microwave reflection coefficients $S_{11}$ of copper(II)-phthalocyanine(CuPc) thin films by using a near-field microwave microscope(NSMM) in order to understand. CuPc thin films were prepared on gold and aluminium substrates using a thermal evaporation method. Two kinds of CuPc thin films were prepared. One was deposited on preheated substrate at $150^{\circ}C$ and the other was annealed after deposition by using thermal evaporation methods. The microwave reflection coefficients $S_{11}$ of CuPc thin films were changed by the dependence on the heat treatment conditions. By comparing reflection coefficient $S_{11}$ we measured electrical conductivity of CuPc thin films and studied this results with respect to the surface potential and space charge of the interface between metal and CuPc thin films.

Organic field-effect transistor (FET) based on a copper Phthalocyanine (CuPc) material as an active layer and a $SiO_2$ as a gate insulator were fabricated and analyzed. We measured the typical FET characteristics of CuPc in air. The electrical characteristics of the CuPc FET device were analyzed by a Maxwell-Wagner model. The Maxwell-Wagner model employed in analyzing double-layer dielectric system was helpful to explain the C-V and I-V characteristics of the FET device. In order to further clarity the channel formation of the CuPc FET, optical second harmonic generation (SHG) measurement was also employed. Interestingly, SHG modulation was not observed for the CuPc FET. This result indicates that the accumulation of charge from bulk CuPc makes a significant contribution.
