Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) have been attracting considerable attention because of their potential use in low-cost, large area, electronic devices such as flexible displays, biochemical sensors, and smart cards. In past several years, gold/pentacene has been frequently used in OTFTs because of the high mobility of pentacene and the high work function of gold. To improve the performance of the OTFTs contact area doping of pentacene with p-doping materials are well known. In this work we demonstrated selectively contact area doping of pentacene with Iodine vapor. For effective doping elevated pentacene layer under the source-drain area was deposited and exposed to Iodine vapor. We got better electrical performance for elevated pentacene structure rather than planer structure with relatively high field-effect mobility.

We report on the photoalignment process of pentacene thin film with optical anisotropy on treated buffer layers. The photopolymer, showing an anchoring transition, was used as a buffer layer to control the structural order of the pentacene molecules. Using the photoelastic modulator, it was found that the grain size and the optical anisotropy of the pentacene thin film were strongly correlated with each other.

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 $10^5$.

Using stacked organic gate insulators and active layer of pentacene deposited at elevated temperatures, pentacene-based organic thin-film transistors(OTFTs) with improved electrical characteristics have been fabricated. Stacked PVP(Polyvinylphenol)-polystyrene gate insulators could compensate the demerits and take advantage of the merits of each other [1]. Also, for the better device performance, moderate substrate heating and high deposition rate of pentacene active layer was adopted [2, 3].

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.

The interfacial electronic structure of a bilayer of chloroaluminum phthalocyanine (ClAlPc) and pentacene grown on indium tin oxide (ITO) has been studied using synchrotron radiation-excited photoelectron spectroscopy. The energy difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of the pentacene layer and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of the ClAlPc layer (EDHOMO - EALUMO) was determined and compared with that of C60/pentacene bilayers. The EDHOMO - EALUMO of a heterojunction with ClAlPc was found to be 1.4 eV, while that with C60 was 1.0 eV. This difference is discussed in terms of the difference of the ionization energy of each acceptor materials. We also obtained the complete energy level diagrams of ClAlPc/pentacene/ITO and C60/pentacene/ITO, respectively.

In this paper, we have fabricated pentacene thin film transistors (TFTs) using polyvinylphenol (PVP) copolymer and cross-linked PVP as gate insulator on glass and plastic (PET) substrate. Depending on the density of PVP and cross-link material the performance has been changed. We obtained the best device performance with the mobility of 0.32cm2/V${\cdot}$sec and the on/off current ratio of 1.19${\times}$106 for the case of 10wt% PVP copolymer mixed with 5wt% poly (melamine-co-formaldehyde). Additionally using pentacene TFTs with the above PVP gate insulator, we fabricated the integrated circuits including inverter which produced the gain of 9.7.

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.

Organic semiconductors based on vacuum-deposited films of fused-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon have great potential to be utilized as an active layer for electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this study, pentacene thin films and electrode materials were deposited by Organic Molecular Beam Deposition (OMBD) and vacuum evaporation respectively. For the gate dielectric layer, photoacryl (OPTMER PC403 from JSR Co.) was spin-coated and cured at $220^{\circ}C$. Electrical characteristics of the device were investigated, where the channel length and width was 50 ${\mu}m$ and 5 mm. It was found that field effect mobility was 0.039 $cm^{2}V^{-1}s^{-1}$, threshold voltage was -8 V, and on/off current ratio was $10^{6}$. Further details will be discussed.

본 연구에서는 유기반도체인 펜타센과 소스-드레인 금속전극사이에 $C_{60}$을 홀주입층으로 적용한 유기박막트랜지스터를 제작하여 $C_{60}$을 삽입하지 않은 소자와의 전기적특성을 비교하였다. $C_{60}/Au$ 이중전극을 사용한 소자의 경우 Au단일전극을 사용한 소자와 비교하였을 때 전하이동도는 0.298 $cm^2/V{\cdot}s$에서 0.452 $cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ 문턱전압의 경우 -13.3V에서 -10.8V로 향상되었으며, contact resistance를 추출하여 비교하였을 경우 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 성능의 향상은 $C_{60}$을 Au와 pentacene 사이에 삽입하였을 경우 Au-pentacene 간의 원하지 않는 화학적 반응을 막아줌으로써 홀 주입장벽를 감소시켜 홀 주입이 향상되었기 때문이다. 또한 Al을 전극으로 적용한 OTFT도 제작하였다. 기존에 Al은 OTFT에 단일전극으로 사용하였을 경우 둘간의 높은 홀 주입장벽으로 인해 채널이 거의 형성되지 않았으나, $C_{60}/Al$ 이중전극을 사용한 소자의 경우 전하이동도와 전류점멸비은 0.165 $cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, $1.4{\times}10^4$ 으로써 Al를 단일전극으로 사용하는 소자의 전기적 특성에 비해 크게 향상되어진 소자를 제작할 수 있었다. 이는 $C_{60}$과 Al이 접합시에 interface dipole의 형성으로 Al의 vacuum energy level이 변화로 인한 Al의 work function이 증가되어 pentacene과 Al간의 hole injection barrier가 감소되었기 때문이다.
