Pentacene thin film transistors (OTFTs) on flexible polyimide substrate using electroplated gate electrode and organic/high-k inorganic bilayer gate dielectric layer. Incorporation of thin atomic-layer deposited $HfO_2$ layer on the PVP organic gate dielectric layer reduced the gate leakage and as a result enhanced the current on/off ratio.

We show that the electrical properties of organic thinfilm transistors(OTFTs) can be enhanced by controlling the morphology of interface between screen printed electrodes and gate dielectrics. Modified surface of the insulator layer($SiO_2$) affect on the interface energy of electrode on $SiO_2$ layer. Contact angle measurement and FT-IR spectrum shows that the interface is properly modified. OTFTs device with high efficiency has been realized through modification of interface layer.

Organic thin film transistors(OTFTs) were simulated by a SPICE model adopted in the amorphous TFTs(a-Si:H TFTs). The gate voltage-dependent mobilities were assumed to fit the representative current-voltage characteristics. The optimal fitting procedures were suggested to compare the experimental data with the mathematical expressions used in the amorphous TFTs. Each SPICE parameter explains the gate dependent mobilities in OTFTs which might originate from the influence of the hopping conduction.

In this paper, we investigated the deposition of pentacene thin film on a large area substrate by Organic Vapor Phase Deposition(OVPD) and applied it to fabrication of Organic Thin Film Transistor(OTFT). We extracted the optimum deposition conditions such as evaporation temperature of $260^{\circ}C$, carrier gas flow rate of 10 sccm and chamber vacuum pressure of 0.1 torr. We fabricated 72 OTFTs on the 4 inch size Si Wafer, Which produced the average mobility of $0.1{\pm}0.021cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, average subthreshold slope of 1.04 dec/V, average threshold voltage of -6.55 V, and off-state current is $0.973pA/{\mu}m$. The overall performance of pentacene TFTs over 4 ' wafer exhibited the uniformity with the variation less than 20 %. This proves that OVPD is a suitable methode for the deposition of organic thin film over a large area substrate.

In this paper we demonstrated the applications of OTFTs (organic thin film transistors) to flexible displays such as AM-EPD (active matrix electrophoretic display) and AM-OLED (active matrix organic light emitting diode), and also to integrated circuits. The OTFTs using pentacene semiconductor layer and PVP gate dielectric and Au S/D electrodes exhibited good performance for AM-EPD with the mobility of $0.59\;cm^{2}/V.sec,$ and with also good uniformity over 2.5" diagonal area. However, it is nor enough for AM-OLED requiring the mobility larger than $1\;cm^{2}/V.sec$ for large area displays. The integrated circuits also worked, producing the operating frequency of 1MHz. We need to develop a fabrication process to reduce parasitic capacitance for high frequency operation.

In this work, the characteristics of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on polymeric gate insulator have been investigated. The SAMs were formed using atomic layer deposition (ALD) method onto gate insulator. Upon the investigations, it was observed that SAMs modify the wettability of polymeric insulator and influence the growth of subsequent organic semiconductor, and thereby, electric conductivity and roughness of the pentacene film are improved.

Recently, nanostructure and the molecular orientation of organic thin films have been largely paid attention due to its importance in organic electronics such as organic thin film transistors (OTFTs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Among various methods, the diffraction and scattering techniques based on synchrotron x-rays have shown powerful results in organic thin film systems. In this work, we introduce the in-situ annealing system installed at PLS-II (Pohang Light Source II) for organic thin films by simultaneously conducting various x-ray scattering measurements of x-ray reflectivity, conventional x-ray scattering, grazing incidence wide angle x-ray scattering (GI-WAXS) and so on. Using the in-situ measurement, we could obtain real time variation of nanostructure as well as molecular orientation during thermal annealing in metal-phthalocyanine thin films. The variation of surface and interface also could be simultaneously investigated by the x-ray reflectivity measurement.

In this study, we examine the electrical properties of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) containing polymer semiconductors that have been reported to show high performance with ambipolar characteristics. We prepared three different DPP based polymer semiconductors (PDPPTPT, PDPP3T, and PDPP2T-TT) and fabricated organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) with ambipolar polymer semiconductors as an active layer. All three DPP polymers showed only p-type properties at initial measurements. However, after annealing in vacuum oven for 24 hours, it was found that the DPP based polymers have both p-type and n-type properties. It is speculated that the residual impurities supposedly regarded as a strong electron trap source were eliminated during the vacuum process.

Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) based on a semiconducting polymer have been fabricated using an organic patterning methodology. Laser assisted lift-off (LALO) technique, ablating selectively the hydrophobic layer by an excimer laser, was used for producing a semiconducting polymer channel in the OTFT with high resolution. The selective wettability of a semiconducting polymer, poly (9-9-dioctylfluorene-co-bithiophene) (F8T2), dissolved in a polar solvent was found to define precisely the pattering resolution of the active channel. It is demonstrated that in the F8T2 TFTs fabricated using the LALO technique and is applicable for the larger area display.

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.
