본 논문에서는 플라스틱 기판에 OTFT를 스위칭 소자로 사용하여 유연한 EPD 패널을 제작하였다. OTFT의 채널 폭과 길이의 비(W/L)는 EPD의 응답속도를 고려하여 15이상으로 설계를 하였다. 게이트전극은 Al, 절연층은 cross-linked PVP, 반도체층은 펜타센, 중간층은 PVA/Acryl를 사용하였다. 플라스틱 기판은 보호층 처리를 통하여 열처리 공정 시 발생하는 입자를 제거하였고, 거친 표면을 평탄화하였다. 반도체층의 크기는 게이트 전극 보다 작도록 제한하여 누설전류를 줄일 수 있었다. EPD-상판과 OTFT-하판 사이에 픽셀전극을 삽입하고 또한 OTFT-하판을 보호하기 위하여 PVA/Acryl로 구성된 중간층을 상빙하였다. 완성된 OTFT-하판에서 OTFT의 이동도는 $0.21cm^2/V.s$, 전류점멸비(Ion/Ioff)는 $10^5$ 이상의 성능을 보였다.

In this paper we fabricated a test panel for AMOLED on glass and PET substrate. The test panel consisted of the various size of OTFTs and OLEDs and the current driving capability of OTFTs for OLEDs has been investigated. OTFTs were made of the inverted staggered structure and employed polyvinylphenol (PVP) as the gate insulator and pentacene thin film as the active layer. The OTFTs produced the filed effect mobility of $0.3 cm^2/V.sec$ and on/off current ratio of $10^5$. OLEDs consisted of TPD for HTL and Alq3 for EML with 35nm thick, generating green monochrome light. We found that OTFT with channel length of 70${\mu}m$ and channel width of over 3.5mm provided the sufficient current to OLED to generate the luminescence of $0.3Cd/m^2$.

Pentacene based TFT showed a degraded mobility and saturation current (Ion) after exposure to the high energy ultraviolet (UV). In this article, we optimize the thickness of UV resisted layer on OTFT to restrain the degradation from protect layer deposition and study the UV aging effect of pentacene based TFT. The OTFT deivce with UV resisted layer could keep over 50% mobility after suffered UV $10^3J$.

We have presented a comprehensive study on threshold voltage $(V_{th})$ control of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with dual-gate structure. The fabrication of dual-gate pentacene OTFTs using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposited (PEALD) 150 nm thick $Al_2O_3$ as a bottom gate dielectric and 300 nm thick parylene or PEALD 200 nm thick $Al_2O_3$ as both a top gate dielectric and a passivation layer is reported. The $V_{th}$ of OTFT with 300 nm thick parylene as a top gate dielectric is changed from 4.7 V to 1.3 V and that with PEALD 200 nm thick $Al_2O_3$ as a top gate dielectric is changed from 1.95 V to -9.8 V when the voltage bias of top gate electrode is changed from -10 V to 10 V. The change of $V_{th}$ of OTFT with dual-gate structure has been successfully understood by an analysis of electrostatic potential.

The long-term stability of pentacene thin-film transistors (TFTs) encapsulated with a transparent $SnO_2$ thin-film prepared by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) was investigated. With a buffer layer of thermally evaporated 100 nm $SnO_2$ film deposited prior to IBAD process, our encapsulated OTFTs sustained its initial field-effect mobility up to one month and then gradually degraded showing only 37% reduction compared to 90% reduction of non-encapsulated OTFTs after 100 days in air ambient. The encapsulated OTFTs also exhibited superior on/off current ratio of over $10^5$ to that of the unprotected devices $({\sim}10^4)$ which was reduced from ${\sim}10^6$ before aging. Therefore, the enhanced long-term stability of our encapsulated OTFTs should be attributed to well protection of permeation of $H_2O$ and $O_2$ into the devices by the IBAD $SnO_2$ thin-film which could be used as an effective inorganic gas barrier for transparent organic electronic devices.

The structures, energetics and transfer integrals of the acene tetramers up to pentacene are investigated with the ab initio molecular orbital method at the level of second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). Calculated geometries for the herringbone-style structures found in the crystal structure were characterized as local minima, however the geometrical discrepancy between crystal and MP2 theoretical structure is reasonably small. The binding energy of pentacene tetramer was calculated up to 40 kcal/mol (MP2/6-31G(d)) and about 90 kcal/mol (MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ), and the latter seems to be too much overestimated. The tendency of the hole transfer integrals computed with ab initio MP2/3-21G(d) geometry is well agreement with those estimated with crystal structure with some discrepancy, and the gradual increment of the transfer integrals at the crystal geometry is attributed to mainly packing structure rather than the intrinsic property of acene such as a size of acene.

We have fabricated pentacene OTFT on ultra-thin flexible polyimide film with a rigid glass support. Polyimide film of the thickness of $10{\mu}m$ has formed on glass by spin coating from the solution. After the entire OTFT process, the OTFT exhibited a fieldeffect mobility of $0.4\;cm^2/Vs$, an $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio of $10^7$ and a subthreshold swing of 0.7 V/dec. The OTFT on polyimide film has been detached from the glass support and laminated on a plastic support of $130\;{\mu}m-thick$ PET film. After the detach process, in spite of the degrading of its field-effect mobility, the OTFT showed high $I_{on}/I_{off}$ as high $as{\sim}10^6$.

In our previous reports [1-3], electron transport for the switching and memory devices using alkyl thiol-tethered Ru-terpyridine complex compounds with metal-insulator-metal crossbar structure has been presented. On the other hand, among organic memory devices, a memory based on the OFET is attractive because of its nondestructive readout and single transistor applications. Several attempts at nonvolatile organic memories involve electrets, which are chargeable dielectrics. However, these devices still do not sufficiently satisfy the criteria demanded in order to compete with other types of memory devices, and the electrets are generally limited to polymer materials. Until now, there is no report on nonvolatile organic electrets using nano-interfaced organic monomer layer as a dielectric material even though the use of organic monomer materials become important for the development of molecularly interfaced memory and logic elements. Furthermore, to increase a retention time for the nonvolatile organic memory device as well as to understand an intrinsic memory property, a molecular design of the organic materials is also getting important issue. In this presentation, we report on the OFET memory device built on a silicon wafer and based on films of pentacene and a SiO2 gate insulator that are separated by organic molecules which act as a gate dielectric. We proposed push-pull organic molecules (PPOM) containing triarylamine asan electron donating group (EDG), thiophene as a spacer, and malononitrile as an electron withdrawing group (EWG). The PPOM were designed to control charge transport by differences of the dihedral angles induced by a steric hindrance effect of side chainswithin the molecules. Therefore, we expect that these PPOM with potential energy barrier can save the charges which are transported to the nano-interface between the semiconductor and organic molecules used as the dielectrics. Finally, we also expect that the charges can be contributed to the memory capacity of the memory OFET device.[4]

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) 기능성 박막을 도입하여 적은 게이트 누설 전류 특성을 가지는 유기트랜지스터를 제작하고 평가하였다. UV/ozone 처리를 하여 PDMS 표면에 위치한 소수성의 메틸 그룹의 화학적 결합을 끊어 친수성 실리콘 산화막 성질로 표면을 변화시키고 선택적인 펜타신 증착을 유도하였다. Off 전압상태 ($V_g-V_t>0$)에서 게이트 전압에 의해 기인하는 누설 전류는 선형영역 ($V_d=-5\;V$)과 포화영역 ($V_d=-30\;V$)에서 ${\sim}10^{-10}$ A의 값을 보여주며 기존의 트랜지스터 보다 개선된 누설 전류 특성을 나타내었다.
