Enhancing the electrical conductivity of the ultrathin organic films is one of the important factors for the development of molecular electronic devices. The Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique has recently been attracted as out of the ways of deposition ultrathin films. We have studied manufacturing conditions and physical properties of Hexadecyl Dipyridinium-$(TCNQ^-)_2$ LB films made by Kuhn type apparatus. A ${\pi}-A$ isotherm shows that a limiting area is around $180{\AA}^2/molecule$ and a proper surface pressure for a deposition is around 22mN/m. A transfer ratio shows that Hexadecyl Dipyridinium-$(TCNQ^-)_2$ is able to be deposited as an Y-type. UV /visible absorption spectra shows that TCNQ dimer peak is apeared at about 600nm in LB films. In solution, $TCNQ^-$ peak is observed at about 400nm and charge transfer band at $830{\sim}900nm$. A horizontal conductivity of the Hexadecyl Dipyridinium-$(TCNQ^-)_2$ LB film is about $10^{-7}(S/cm)$.

We report a new direct patterning method, called liquid bridge-mediated nanotransfer molding (LB-nTM), for the formation of two- or three-dimensional structures with feature sizes between tens of nanometers and tens of micron over large areas. LB-nTM is based on the direct transfer of various materials from a mold to a substrate via a liquid bridge between them. This procedure can be adopted for automated direct printing machines that generate patterns of functional materials with a wide range of feature sizes on diverse substrates. Arrays of TIPS-PEN TFTs were fabricated on 4" polyethersulfone (PES) substrates by LB-nTM using PDMS molds. An inverted staggered structure was employed in the TFT device fabrication. A 150 nm-thick indium-tin oxide (ITO) gate electrode and a 200 nm-thick SiO2dielectric layer were formed on a PES substrate by sputter deposition. An array of TIPS-PEN patterns (thickness: 60 nm) as active channel layers was fabricated on the substrate by LB-nTM. The nominal channel length of the TIPS-PEN TFT was 10 mm, while the channel width was 135 mm. Finally, the source and drain electrodes of 200 nm-thick Ag were defined on the substrate by LB-nTM. The TIPS-PEN TFTs can endure strenuous bending and are also transparent in the visible range, and therefore potentially useful for flexible and invisible electronics.

Metal ion complex of poly(N-(2,4-imidazoly)ethyl)maleimide-alt-l-octadecene (IMO-O) polymer used to confirm the possibility of molecular device made by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. Electrical properties of the metal ion complex LB film were investigated using Metal/Insulator/Metal(MIM) structure. In the surface pressure-area($\pi$-A) isotherm of IMI-O polymer, the surface pressure at collapse point has a difference due to the interaction between polymer and metal ions. And the complex between polymer and metal ions could be verified through the investigation by Raman spectroscopy. In the current-voltage(I-V) property, the conductivity change of IMO-O polymer complexes due to the kinds of metal of metal ions couldn't be observed. However, the limiting area of molecules was changed by the concentration of the metal ions and the conductivity was increased with the occupied molecular area.

본 연구에서는 대표적인 양친매성분자인 Arachidic acid를 이용하여 박막을 제작하였으며, 층수 변화에 따른 표면이미지와 전압-전류 특성을 측정하였다. Arachidic acid 는 포화지방산으로 ($CH_3(CH_2)_{18}$ COOH)의 구조를 가지며, 크기가 $27.5{\AA}$으로 $CH_3(CH_2)_{18}$의 소수기와 COOH의 친수기로 구성되어 있어, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) Trough을 사용하여 박막제작과 분자제어가 쉽다. Chloroform을 용매로 하여 2 mmol/l의 농도를 조성하여 ${\pi}$-A 등온선을 통해 기체 상태, 액체 상태, 고체 상태를 관찰하였다. LB 막의 제작 및 평가에서 막의 안정성은 ${\pi}$-A 곡선, AFM(Atomic force microscopy) 등을 통하여 확인하였다. 또한 LB 막을 Metal/유기물 LB막/Metal 구조의 소자로 제작하여 전압-전류 특성을 측정하였다.

A film is fabricated by depositing several slices ultra thin films on a slide glass. The UV-absorbance outcomed on a multi-layered bulky ultra thin film with (N-docosyl pyridinium)-TCNQ (1:2) complex results tat the quantity of UV-absorbances becomes more linearly according to the number of layer becomes higher. In addition, it is found that the capacitance of this film gets smaller as the number of layer gets higher. Finally, the conductivity of this film is measured by the direction of the long axis of the TCNQ radical anion, and is resulted in a remarkably low value (about 1.66∼3.78 x 10$\^$-14/S/cm).

The $NO_2$ gas-detection characteristics were investigated using the functional organic Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film of Tetra-3-hexadecyl-sulphamoylcopperphthalocyanine(HDSM-CuPc). A surface pressure of 30mN/m was obtained as a proper one for a film deposition. A deposited film status was confirmed by electrical and optical methods such as UV/visible absorption spectra and current-voltage(I-V) characteristics. The $NO_2$ gas response experiments under 200ppm concentration show that there is not increment of electrical conductivity in room temperature and is identified by UV/visible absorption spectra. But There are some increments of electrical conductivity in $160^{\circ}C$.

The characteristics of LB ultra-thin film multi-layers were evaluated by the AT-cut quartz crystal. Cholesterol and phosphatidyl choline LB multi-layers were deposited on the surface of quartz crystal by using vertical lifting method and horizontal lifting method. There was good relationship between deposition ratio and frequency shift, and the frequency was more stable at the case of horizontal lifting method to the vertical lifting method.

The Synthesis of azobenzene containing long chain fatty acid and poly vinyl alcohol by esterification reaction($C_{n}-Azo-PVA$) was optimized, starting from P-(P'-hydroxy phenyl azo)-benzoic acid and the product of reaction containing azobenzene chromophores was investigated by ultraviolet spectrophotometery in toluene solvent at room temperature. In addition, UV absorption spectra of Langmmuir Blodggett (LB) film deposited on quartz plate have been measured and the structure of these compounds were ascertained by means of Ultraviolet and FT-IR. Recrystallization of reaction product in the solvent results the experimental yield obtained about 22.27% P-(P'-octadecyloxy phenyl azo)-benzoic acid-poly vinyl alcohol. Long chain azobenzene derivative-poly vinyl alcohols are induced phtoisomerization by u, v, and visible light irradiation. The LB film of azobenzene containing long chain fatty acids($C_{18}-Azo-PVA$) are possible of being applied to functional molecular devices such as photomemory and light switching.
