본 연구에서는 유기박막트랜지스터 (OTFT, Organic Thin film Transistor) 제작을 위한 채널막으로 pentacene의 soluble 공정 과 soluble 공정 올 통하여 제작된 pentacene 박막의 특성 을 분석 하여 유기박막트랜지스터에 적용 여부를 조사하였다. Pentacene을 용해시키기 위한 용제로는 toluene과 chloroform을 사용하였으며, 각각의 용제에 대하여 열처리를 하여 pentacene 용액을 준비하였다. Spin-coating 법으로 pentacene 유기 박막을 제작하여 각 박막의 결정화 특성을 관찰하였다. XRD 회절 분석 결과 chloroform 올 이용한 pentacene 박막에서만 결정화가 된 것이 확인이 되었다. Hall effect measurement 분석 결과 chloroform올 이 용한, pentacene 박막의 전하농도 (Carrier Concentration)는 $-3.225{\times}1014(c{\cdot}cm^{-3})$를 나타내었고, 이동도 (Mobility)는 $3.5{\times}10^{-l}(cm^2{\cdot}V^{-1}{\cdot}S^{-1})$를 각각 나타내었다.

We report on the fabrication of soluble pentacene-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) that consist of $NiO_x$, poly-vinyl phenol (PVP), and Ni for the source-drain (SID) electrodes, gate dielectric, and gate electrode, respectively. The $NiO_x$ SID electrodes of which the work function is well matched to that of soluble pentacene are deposited on a soluble pentacenechannel by sputter deposited of NiO powder and show a moderately low but still effective transmittance of ~65% in the visible range along with a good sheet resistance of ${\sim}40{\Omega}/{\square}$. The maximum saturation current of our soluble pentacene-based TFT is about $15{\mu}A$ at a gate bias of -40showing a high field effect mobility of $0.06cm^2/Vs$ in the dark, and the on/off current ratio of our TFT is about $10^4$. It is concluded that jointly adopting $NiO_x$ for the S/D electrodes and PVP for gate dielectric realizes a high-quality soluble pentacene-based TFT.

In this study, the pentacene thin films were prepared by the soluble process, and characterized fur the application of the organic thin film transistor(OTFT) device. To dissolve the pentacene material, two kinds of solvents such as toluene and chloroform were used, and the effects of these solvents on the properties of pentacene thin films coated on ITO/Glass substrate were investigated. Pentacene thin films were prepared by using spin-coating methode and characterized the surface morphology, crystalline and electrical properties. From the AFM measurement, the surface morphology of the pentacene film dissolved with chloroform was improved compared with the one dissolved with toluene solvent. XRD measurement showed that all prepared pentacene film samples were amorphous crystal phases without crystallization of the films. The electrical properties of the pentacene film dissolved with chloroform showed better results than the ones using toluene solvent by hall measurement system. The carrier concentration and the mobility values of pentacene films using chloroform solvent were found to be $-3.225{\times}10^{14}\;cm^{-3}$ and $3.5{\times}10^{-1}\;cm^2{\cdot}V^{-1}{\cdot}S^[-1}$, respectively. The resistivity was about $2.5{\times}10^2\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$.

In this study, 6,13-Bis(4-propylphenyl)pentacene was synthesized and characterized. The structures of the products that were obtained during the reaction steps were identified via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The compound was found to be soluble in organic solvents like chloroform, dichloromethane, THF, and toluene. The charge transport mobility was $10^{-4}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$, and the on/off current ratio was $10^2$, while the compound was 2.5 times more stable under oxidation in a solution compared with pentacene.

A high performance organic phototransistor with dynamic range of 120 dB is demonstrated by employing soluble pentacene as a photo-sensing layer. The organic phototransistor used suspended source/drain (SSD) electrode structure, which provides a dark current level of ${\sim}10^{-14}$ A at positive gate bias. Under a steady-state illumination, the organic phototransistor exhibited a current modulation of $10^6$ compared to dark to give a dynamic range of 120 dB. These results suggest that the organic phototransistor based on TIPS pentacene can be a new premising candidate for low-cost and high-performance photo-sensing element for digital imaging applications.

In this paper, we developed a new photolithography process which used a water-soluble photoresist instead of organic solvent soluble photoresist, defined pentacene thin film. And pentacene OTFTs were fabricated with the water- soluble photolithography process.

By ink-jet printing method, organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) having soluble 6,13-bis (triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS pentacene) as an active material were fabricated. The TIPS pentacene solution was made with chlorobenzene and anisole. The solutions were printed on poly (4-vinylphenol) (PVP) dielectric layers and source/drain electrodes by piezo-type heads for bottom contact OTFTs. The dielectric layers had untreated or HMDS-treated conditions. The chlorobenzene device showed the highest field effect mobility of $0.016\;cm^2/Vs$ and the anisole HMDS-treated device shows the highest $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio of $10^5$.

We have synthesized a novel fully soluble and low-temperature processable polyimide gate insulator (KSPI) through one-step condensation polymerization. For the preparation of KSPI, 5- (2,5-dioxytetrahydrofuryl)-3-methly-3-cyclohexene- 1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride (DOCDA) and 4,4- diaminodiphenylmethane (MDA) were used as monomers and fully imidized KSPI was completely soluble in organic solvents like ${\gamma}-butyrolactone$ and 2-butoxyethanol, etc.

Relationships between field effect mobility and grain size on pentacene thin-film transistors with $polyimide/SiO_2$ gate dielectrics have been studied. 6 kinds of polyimide were used as surface treatment gate dielectric layer. Grain size of the pentacene thin film were between 5 and $30\;{\mu}m$ and depended on the polyimide. The field effect mobility were also depended on the polyimide and the those values were from 0.027 to $0.69\;cm^2/(Vs)$. The field effect mobility tends to increase with increasing the grain size. Precursor type polyimide containing polyamic acid show better mobility of $0.69\;cm^2/(Vs)$ than soluble type polyimide. Bias stress characteristics in air are discussed in the basis of the grain size.
