Organization of pentacene molecules using an ion-beam treatment for organic thin film transistors

OTFT 특성향상을 위한 이온빔 정렬처리 통한 펜타센 분자의 비등방 정렬

This paper focuses on improving organic thin film transistor (OTFT) characteristics by controlling the self-organization of pentacene molecules with an alignable high-dielectric-constant film. The process, based on the growth of pentacene film through high-vacuum sublimation, is a method of self-organization using ion-beam (IB) bombardment of the $HfO_2/Al_2O_3$ surface used as the gate dielectric layer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that the IB raises the rate of the structural anisotropy of the $HfO_2/Al_2O_3$ film, and X-ray diffraction patterns show the possibility of increasing the anisotropy to create the self-organization of pentacene molecules in the first polarized monolayer.
