본 연구에서는 polymer gate insulators에 따른 pentacene 유기 박막 트랜지스터 (Organic Thin-Film Transistors)의 전기적 특성을 atom force microscope (AFM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) 그리고 I-V 측정을 이용하여 분석하였다. Pentacene 박막 트랜지스터의 전기적 특성은 pentacene의 증착 조건뿐만 아니라 polymer gate insulator에 따라 크게 영향을 받는다. 따라서 다양한 polymer 기판 위에 온도, 두께 그리고 증착 속도에 따라 pentacene을 증착 하였다. 그리고 증착된 pentacne을 AFM, XRD를 이용하여 pentacene의 구조, 결정화 그리고 grain 크기 등을 분석하였다. 또한 inverted stagger며 구조의 pentacene 박막 트랜지스터 소자를 제작하고 I-V 측정하여 그 결과를 분석하였다.

In this work the electrical characteristics of organic TFTs with the semiconductor-insulator interfaces, where the gate dielectrics were treated by the two methods which are the deposition of Octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) on the insulator and rubbing the insulator surface. Pentacene is used as an active semiconducting layer. The semiconductor layer of pentacene was thermally evaporated in vacuum at a pressure of about $2{\times}10^{-7}$ Torr and at a deposition rate of $0.3{\AA}/sec$. Aluminum and gold were used for the gate and source/drain electrodes. OTS is used as a self-alignment layer between $SiO_2$ and pentacene. The gate dielectric surface was rubbed before pentacene is deposited on the insulator. In order to confirm the changes of the surface morphology the atomic force microscopy (AFM) was utilized. The characteristics of the fabricated TFTs are measured to clarify the effects of the surface treatment.

Organic materials have been explored as the gate dielectric layers in thin film transistors (TFTs) of backplane devices for flexible display because of their inherent mechanical flexibility. However, those materials possess some disadvantages like low dielectric constant and thermal resistance, which might lead to high power consumption and instability. On the other hand, inorganic gate dielectrics show high dielectric constant despite their brittle property. In order to maintain advantages of both materials, it is essential to develop the alternative materials. In this work, we manufactured nanocomposite gate dielectrics composed of organic material and inorganic nanoparticle and integrated them into organic TFTs. For synthesis of nanocomposite gate dielectrics, polyimide (PI) was explored as the organic materials due to its superior thermal stability. Candidate nanoprticles (NPs) of halfnium oxide, titanium oxide and aluminium oxide were considered. In order to realize NP concentration dependent electrical characteristics, furthermore, we have synthesized the different types of nanocomposite gate dielectrics with varying ratio of each inorganic NPs. To analyze gate dielectric properties like the capacitance, metal-Insulator-metal (MIM) structures were prepared together with organic TFTs. The output and transfer characteristics of organic TFTs were monitored by using the semiconductor parameter analyzer (HP4145B), and capacitance and leakage current of MIM structures were measured by the LCR meter (B1500, Agilent). Effects of mechanical cyclic bending of 200,000 times and thermally heating at $400^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour were investigated to analyze mechanical and thermal stability of nanocomposite gate dielectrics. The results will be discussed in detail.

Organic thin film transitors(OTFT) are of interest for use in broad area electronic applications. And recently organic electroluminescent devices(OELD) have been intensively investigated for using in full-color flat-panel display. We have fabricated inverted-staggered structure OTFTs at lower temperature using the fused-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pentacene as the active eletronic material and photoacryl as the organic gate insulator. The field effect mobility is 0.039∼0.17 ㎠/Vs, on-off current ratio is 10$\^$6/, and threshold voltage is -7V. And here we report the study of driving emitting, Ir(ppy)$_3$, phosphorescent OELD with all organic thin film transistor and investigated its electrical characteristics. The OELD with a structure of ITO/TPD/8% Ir(ooy)$_3$ doped in BCP/BCP/Alq$_3$/Li:Al/Al and OTFT with a structure of inverted-stagged Al(gate electrode)/photoacry(gate insulator)/pentacene(p-type organic semiconductor)/ Au(source-drain electrode) were fabricated on the ITP patterned glass substrate. The electrical characteristics are turn-on voltage of -10V, and maximum luminance of about 90 cd/㎡. Device characteristics were quite different with that of only OELD.

Hybrid insulator pentacene thin film transistors (TFTs) are fabricated with thermally grown oxide and cross-linked polyvinylalcohol (PVA) including surface treatment by dilute ploymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) layer on $n^+$ doped silicon wafer. Through the optimization of $SiO_2$ layer thickness in hybrid insulator structure, carrier mobility is increased to more than 35 times than that of the TFT which has only a gate insulator of $SiO_2$ at the same electric field. The carrier mobility of $1.80cm^2$/V-s, subthreshold swing of 1.81 V/decade, and $I_{on}/I_{off}$ current ratio> $1.10{\times}10^5$ are obtained less than -30 V bias condition. The result is one of the best reported performances of pentacene TFTs with hybrid insulator including cross-linked PVA layer as a gate insulator at relatively low voltage operation.

The effects of plasma damages to the organic thin film transistor (OTFT) during the fabrication process are investigated; metal deposition process on the organic gate insulator by plasma sputtering mainly generates the process induced damages of bottom contact structured OTFTs. For this study, various deposition methods (thermal evaporation, plasma sputtering, and neutral beam based sputtering) and metals (gold and Indium-Tin Oxide) have been tested for their damage effects onto the Poly 4-vinylphenol(PVP) layer surface as an organic gate insulator. The surface damages are estimated by measuring surface energies and grain shapes of organic semiconductor on the gate insulator. Unlike thermal evaporation and neutral beam based sputtering, conventional plasma sputtering process induces serious damages onto the organic surface as increasing surface energy, decreasing grain sizes, and degrading TFT performance.

유기반도체와 게이트 절연체 간 계면전하이동을 이해하는 것은 고성능 유기메모리, 고안정성 유기전계효과 트랜지스터 (이하 유기트랜지스터) 개발에 기여할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 계면 간 전하이동의 특이거동, 즉 홀전하가 유기반도체에서 고분자절연체로 이동되어 편재화되는 것이 편재화 준위간의 커플링에 의해 비선형적으로 가속화될 수 있음을 최초로 밝혀내었다. 이의 규명을 위해 rubrene 단결정과 Mylar 절연체를 기반으로 한 유기트랜지스터를 vacuum lamination 공정으로 제작하여 반도체-절연체 계면의 반복적인 전사와 박리에도 안정적인 소자를 개발하였다. Rubrene 단결정과 Mylar film의 표면을 각각 광유도 산소 확산법과 UV-오존 처리를 통해 결함을 생성시켰다. 그 결과, 계면 간 전하이동과 이에 의한 바이어스 스트레스 효과가 rubrene과 Mylar가 가진 편재화 준위 간 커플링에 의해 비선형적으로 급격하게 가속화되었음을 관측하였다. 특히, rubrene 단결정에 있는 적은 밀도의 편재화 준위가 계면 간 전하이동을 촉진하는데 가교역할을 함을 밝혀내었다

We demonstrated low-voltage organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with bilayer insulators, high-k polymer and low temperature crosslinkable polymer, on a flexible plastic substrate. Poly (vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) and poly (2-vinylnaphthalene) are used for high-k polymer gate insulator and low temperature crosslinkable polymer insulators, respectively. The mobility of flexible OTFTs is $0.17cm^2/Vs$ at gate voltages -5 V after bending operation.

In the present paper, it was investigated that adhesion layer on gate insulator could affect the electrical characteristics for the organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). The polyimide (PI) as organic adhesion layer was fabricated by using the vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) processing . It was found that electrical characteristics improved comparing OTFTs using adhesion layer to another. We researched adhesion layer as a function of thickness. For inverted-staggered top contact structure, field effect mobility, threshold voltage, and on-off current ratio of OTFTs using adhesion layer of PI 15 nm thickness on the gate insulator with a thickness of 0.2 ${\mu}m$ were about 0.5 $cm^2/Vs$, -0.8 V, and $10^6$, respectively.

Performance of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with various temperature-cured polyacrylate(PA) copolymer as a gate insulator was studied. The PA thin film, which was cured at an optimized temperature, showed high dielectric strength (>7 MV/cm), low leakage current density ($5{\times}10^{-9}\;A/cm^2$ at 1 MV/cm) and enabled negligible hysteresis in MIS capacitor and OFET. A field-effect mobility of ${\sim}0.6\;cm^2/V\;s$, on/off current ratio (Ion/Ioff) of ${\sim}10^5$ and inverse subthreshold slope (SS) as low as 1.22 V/decwere achieved. The high dielectric strength made it possible to scale down the thickness of dielectric, and low-voltage operation of -5 V was successfully realized. The chemical changes were monitored by FT-IR. The morphology and microstructure of the pentacene layer grown on PA dielectrics were also investigated and correlated with OFET device performance.
