Low-temperature curable organic insulator was prepared through blending of polyimide type base resin and cross-linking agent. The newly developed resin can be formed into films using a wet process and cured at $130^{\circ}C$. Using the low temperature cured film as the gate dielectric layer, the field effect mobility of $0.15\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ was obtained from a pentacene field effect transistor in the saturation regime and no hysteresis behavior was observed in transfer curves.

Organic field-effect transistor (OFET) memory is an emerging device for its potential to realize light-weight, low cost flexible charge storage media. Here we report on a solution-processed poly[9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl]-co-(bithiophene)] (F8T2) nano floating-gate memory (NFGM) with top-gate/bottom-contact device configuration. A reversible shift in the threshold voltage ($V_{Th}$) and the reliable memory characteristics were achieved by incorporation of thin Au nanoparticles (NPs) as charge storage sites for negative electrons at the interface between polystyrene and cross-linked poly(4-vinylphenol).

New $\pi$-conjugated multi-branched molecules were synthesized through the Homer-Emmons reaction using alkyl-substituted, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-based, thiophenyl aldehydes and octaethyl benzene-l,2,4,5-tetrayltetrakis(methylene) tetraphosphonate as the core unit; these molecules have all been fully characterized. The two multi-branched conjugated molecules exhibited excellent solubility in common organic solvents and good self-film forming properties. The semiconducting properties of these multi-branched molecules were also evaluated in organic field-effect transistors (OFET). With octyltrichlorosilane (OTS) treatment of the surface of the $SiO_2$ gate insulator, two of the crystalline conjugated molecules, 7 and 8, exhibited carrier mobilities as high as $2.4({\pm}0.5){\times}10^{-3}$ and $1.3({\pm}0.5){\times}10^{-3}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$, respectively. The mobility enhancement of OFET by light irradiation ($\lambda$ = 436 nm) supported the promising photo-controlled switching behavior for the drain current of the device.

In this paper, we demonstrate that the organic electrophosphorescent device is driven by the organic thin film transistor with spin-coated photoacryl gate insulator. It was found that electrical output characteristics in our organic thin film transistors using the staggered-inverted top-contact structure showed the non-saturated slope in the saturation region and the sub-threshold nonlinearity in the triode region, where we obtained the maximum power luminance that was about 90 $cd/m^2$. Field effect mobility, threshold voltage, and on-off current ratio in 0.45 ${\mu}m$ thick gate dielectric layer were 0.17 $cm^2/Vs$, -7 V, and $10^6$ , respectively. In order to form polyimide as a gate insulator, vapor deposition polymerization process was also introduced instead of spin-coating process, where polyimide film was co-deposited by high-vacuum thermal evaporation from 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) and 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA) and cured at 150${\sqsubset}$for 1hr. It was also found that field effect mobility, threshold voltage, on-off current ratio, and sub-threshold slope with 0.45 ${\mu}m$ thick gate dielectric films were 0.134 $cm^2/Vs$, -7 V, and $10^6$ A/A, and 1 V/decade, respectively.

용액 공정 기반으로 유기 전자소자를 제작할 시, 회전 도포 방법을 이용하는데 이 방법의 단점 중의 하나는 후속 회전 도포할 때 용액 속의 용매에 의해 이미 제작된 유기 박막을 물리적 또는 화학적인 손상을 입힐 수 있다는 것이다. 이러한 문제들로 인해 후속적인 박막 제조에 사용될 수 있는 용매의 종류는 매우 제한적일 수 밖에 없다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 알려진 용매들의 적절한 조합으로 인해 다층 박막 제작이 가능함을 보이고, 이를 이용하여 용액 공정 기반 유기 트랜지스터를 제작하여 성능의 향상을 보일 것이다. 트랜지스터의 구조는 하부 게이트 하부 접촉 (bottom gate, bottom contact) 구조로 제작되었고 게이트 절연체는 강유전체 고분자로 제작되었는데 한 번의 회전 도포 방법과 두 번의 회전 도포 방법으로 동일 두께를 형성하여 두 트랜지스터를 제작, 드레인 전압에 따른 소스-드레인 전류를 비교하였다. 그 결과 소스-게이트 누설 전류 감소 효과가 있었고, ON 상태에서의 소스-드레인 전류의 상승효과도 관찰되었다. 전류-전압 그래프로부터 계산된 이동도는 약 2.7배 증가되었다. 그러므로 용액 공정 기반 전계효과 트랜지스터를 제작할 시, 게이트 절연체를 다층 구조로 제작하면 성능 향상에 이점이 많다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Organic thin film transitors(TFTs) are of interest for use in broad area electronic applications. For example, in active matrix liquid crystal displays(AMLCDs), organic TFTs would allow the use of inexpensive, light-weight, flexible, and mechanically rugged plastic substrates as an alternative to the glass substrates needed for commonly used hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H). Recently pentacene TFTs with carrier field effect, mobility as large as 2 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ have been reported for TFTs fabricated on silicon substrates, and it is higher than that of a-Si:H. But these TFTs are fabricated on silicon wafer and $SiO_2$ was used as a gate insulator. $SiO_2$ deposition process requires a high insulator which is polyimide and photo acryl. We investigated trasfer and output characteristics of the thin film transistors having active layer of pentacene. We calculated field effect mobility and on/off ratio from transfer characteristics of pentacene thin film transistor, and measured IR absorption spectrum of polymide used as the gate dielectric layer. It was found that using the photo acryl as a gate insulator, threshold voltage decreased from -12.5 V to -7 V, field effect mobility increased from 0.012 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ to 0.039 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ , and on/off current ratio increased from $10^5\;to\;10^6$. It seems that TFTs using photo acryl gate insulator is apt to form channel than TFTs using polyimide gate insulator.

We investigated the effect of Cr thickness on the electrical properties of triisopropylsilyl pentacene organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) employing suspended source-drain electrode. With Cr thickness of 10 nm, the field-effect mobility, on/off ratio and subthreshold slope were $0.017\;cm^2/Vs$, $8.78\;{\times}\;10^3$ and 10 V/decade, respectively. By increasing the Cr thickness to 100 nm, the fieldeffect mobility was increased to $0.032\;cm^2/Vs$, on/off ratio to $1.12{\times}10^5$ and subthreshold slope to 1 V/decade.

Air stable n-type organic field effect transistors (OFETs) based on CB60B are realized using a perfluoropolymer as the gate dielectric layer. The devices showed the field-effect mobility of $0.05\;cm^2P/V\;s$ in ambient air. Replacing the gate dielectric material by $SiO_2$ resulted in no transistor action in ambient air. Perfluorinated gate dielectric layer reduces interface traps significantly for the n-type semiconductor even in ambient air.

There is currently considerable interest in the applications of conjugated polymers, oligomers and small molecules for thin-film electronic devices. Organic materials have potential advantages to be utilized as semiconductors in field effect transistor and light emitting didoes. In this study, Pentacene thin film transistors(TFTs) were fabricated on glass substrate. Aluminum and Gold wei\ulcorner used fur the gate and source/drain electrodes. Silicon dioxde was deposited as a gate insulator by PECVD and patterned by R.I.E. The semiconductor layer of pentacene was thermally evaporated in vaccum at a pressure of about 10$^{-8}$ Torr and a deposition rate 0.3$\AA$/sec. The fabricated devices exhibited the field-effect mobility as large as 0.07cm$^2$/Vs and on/off current ratio larger than 10$^{7}$
