We studied the electrical characteristics of pentacene-based organic field-effect transistors (FETs) with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or poly-4-vinylphenol (PVP) as the gate insulator. PMMA or PVP was spin-coated on the indium tin oxide glass substrate that serves as gate electrodes. The source-drain current dependence on the gate voltage shows the FET characteristics of the hole accumulation type. The transistor with PVP shows a higher field-effect mobility of 0.14 $cm^{2}/Vs$ compared with 0.045 $cm^{2}/Vs$ for the transistor with PMMA. The atomic force microscope (AFM) images indicate that the grain size of the pentacene on PVP is larger than that on PMMA. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns for the pentacene deposited on PVP exhibit a new Bragg reflection at $19.5{\pm}0.2^{\circ}$, which is absent for the pentacene on PMMA. This peak corresponds to the flat-lying pentacene molecules with less intermolecular spacing.

Pentacene 박막 트랜지스터의 소스/드레인 전극을 폴리머인 Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)를 사용하여 잉크젯 프린팅 방법으로 제작하였다. 펜타신 박막 트랜지스터는 열 증착법을 사용하여 폴리며 기판위에 100nm의 두께로 증착하였다. 게이트 절연막은 $SiO_2$ 위에 Polymethly Methacrylate (PMMA)를 증착시킨 double layer를 사용하였다. PMMA 위에 증착시킨 pentacene 결정립이 $SiO_2$ 위에 증착한 pentacene 결정립 보다 크게 성장하였고, double layer의 절연막을 씀으로 인해 게이트 누설 전류가 감소함을 보였다. Pentacene 증착 온도에 따른 결정립 크기를 비교하여 가장 적절한 온도를 찾았다. 프린팅 방법을 사용하여 만든 박막 트랜지스터는 전계효과 이동도가 ${\mu}_{FET}=0.023cm^2/Vs$ 이고, 문턱이전 기울기 S.S=0.49V/dec, 문턱전압 $V_{th}=-18V$, $I_{on}/I_{off}$ 전류비 >$10^3$의 전기적 특성을 보였다.

The performance of polymer photovoltaic cells based on blends of poly(3-hexylyhiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is strongly influenced by blend composition and thickness. Polymer photovoltaic cells based on bulk-heterojunction have been fabricated with a structure of ITO/poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)-pentacene/poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)/Al. We have prepared PEDOT:PSS by dissolving pentacene in N-methylpyrrolidine (NMP) and mixing with PEDOT:PSS. Pentacene was added a maximum concentration of approximately 5.5mg to the PEDOT:PSS solution and sonicated for 10 min. Active layer (P3HT:PCBM) (1:1) was strongly influenced by PEDOT:PSS-pentacene. We have investigated the performance of photovoltaic device with different concentration of P3HT:PCBM (1:1) 2.0wt%, 2.2wt%, 2.4wt% and 2.6wt%, respectively. The photocurrent and power conversion efficiency (PCE) showed a maximum between 2.0wt% and 2.2wt% concentration of P3HT:PCBM. This implied that both morphology and electron transport properties of the layer influenced the performance of the present photovoltaic cells. As the concentration of P3HT:PCBM blends as an active layer was increased, the power conversion efficiency was decreased. P3HT:PCBM layer and PEDOT:PSS-pentacene layer were characterized by work function, UV-visible absorption, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

산화규소막에 Octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS)로 자기조립층을 형성하기 전후에 펜타신을 흡착하여 광전자분광기술 및 광전현미경을 이용하여 전자구조 및 분자성장을 비교 관찰하였다. OTS처리한 경우 펜타신과 기판사이의 상호작용이 비교적 약하여 펜타신의 표면 확산이 활발하고 펜타신끼리 서로 뭉쳐서 성장함으로써, 시료와 펜타신의 에너지준위 정렬을 나타내는 HOMO 오프셋 값이 계속적으로 변하는 결과를 가져온다. 이에 반해 산화규소막 위에서는 펜타신이 기판과 비교적 강하게 결합하여 초기부터 에너지준위 정렬값에 크게 기여를 하고 두께가 증가해도 그 변화는 미미하다.

In recent years, organic thin film transistors OTFTs based on conductive-conjugated molecules have received significant attention. We report a fabrication of organic single crystal nanowires that made on Si substrates by liquid bridge-mediated nanotransfer molding (LB-nTM) with polyurethane acrylate (PUA) mold. LB-nTM is based on the direct transfer of various materials from a stamp to a substrate via a liquid bridge between them. In liquid bridge-transfer process, the liquid layer serves as an adhesion layer to provide good conformal contact and form covalent bonding between the organic single crystal nanowire and the Si substrate. Pentacene is the most promising organic semiconductors. However pentacene has insolubility in organic solvents so pentacene OTFTs can be achieved with vacuum evaporation system. However 6, 13-bis (triisopropylsilylethynyl) (TIPS) pentacene has high solubility in organic solvent that reported by Anthony et al. Furthermore, the substituted rings in TIPS-pentacene interrupt the herringbone packing, which leads to cofacial ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking. The patterned TIPS-Pentacene single crystal nanowires have been investigated by Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and electrical properties.

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.

Recently, active materials such as amorphous silicon (a-Si), poly crystalline silicon (poly-Si), transition metal oxide semiconductors (TMO), and organic semiconductors have been demonstrated for flexible electronics. In order to apply flexible devices on the polymer substrates, all layers should require the characteristic of flexibility as well as the low temperature process. Especially, pentacene thin film transistors (TFTs) have been investigated for probable use in low-cost, large-area, flexible electronic applications such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, smart cards, display backplane driver circuits, and sensors. Since pentacene TFTs were studied, their electrical characteristics with varying single variable such as strain, humidity, and temperature have been reported by various groups, which must preferentially be performed in the flexible electronics. For example, the channel mobility of pentacene organic TFTs mainly led to change in device performance under mechanical deformation. While some electrical characteristics like carrier mobility and concentration of organic TFTs were significantly changed at the different temperature. However, there is no study concerning multivariable. Devices actually worked in many different kinds of the environment such as thermal, light, mechanical bending, humidity and various gases. For commercialization, not fewer than two variables of mechanism analysis have to be investigated. Analyzing the phenomenon of shifted characteristics under the change of multivariable may be able to be the importance with developing improved dielectric and encapsulation layer materials. In this study, we have fabricated flexible pentacene TFTs on polymer substrates and observed electrical characteristics of pentacene TFTs exposed to tensile and compressive strains at the different values of temperature like room temperature (RT), 40, 50, $60^{\circ}C$. Effects of bending and heating on the device performance of pentacene TFT will be discussed in detail.

금속 전극 위에 유기물 채널을 증착하여 만드는 바닥 전극 구조의 유기물 박막 트랜지스터에서 전극 표면이 거친 정도에 따라 전하 주입이 어떻게 달라지는지 조사했다. 금 전극을 실리콘 기판에 증착하고, 가열하여 금 전극 표면을 거칠게 만들었다. 그리고 펜터신과 상부 전극으로 사용할 금 전극을 차례대로 증착하여 금 전극/펜터신/금 전극 구조를 만들었다. 펜터신 증착 초기에는 거친 금 전극 위에서 펜터신 증착핵이 더 많이 보였지만, 막이 두꺼워지면 가열되지 않은 전극과 가열로 거칠어진 전극에서 펜터신 표면 모양에 차이가 거의 없었다. 온도를 바꾸면서 측정한 전류-전압 곡선은 바닥 전극의 표면이 거칠수록 바닥계면의 전위장벽이 높음을 보여주었다. 이 현상은 금속 표면이 거칠수록 일함수가 낮아지며 펜터신과 거친 전극 표면의 경계에 전하 트랩이 더 많기 때문으로 생각된다.

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. An effective mobility of $2.3{\times}10^{-3}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ was achieved, which is significantly different from that of pentacene films that are not aligned. The proposed OTFT devices with an ultrathin $HfO_2$ structure as the gate dielectric layer were operated at a gate voltage lower than 5 V.
