AbstractLow-voltage organic transistors are sought for implementation in high volume low-power portable electronics of the future. Here we assess the suitability of three phosphonic acid based self-assembling molecules for use as ultra-thin gate dielectrics in low-voltage solution processable organic field-effect transistors. In particular, monolayers of phosphonohexadecanoic acid in metal-monolayer-metal type sandwich devices are shown to exhibit low leakage currents and high geometrical capacitance comparable to previously demonstrated self-assembled monolayer (SAM) type dielectrics but with a higher surface energy. The improved surface energy characteristics enable processing of a wider range of organic semiconductors from solution. Transistors based on a number of solution-processed organic semiconductors with operating voltages below 2 V are also demonstrated.

AbstractHigh performance thin-film transistors (TFT) made of conducting oligomers are obtained when the organic films are well ordered at a molecular level. Highly ordered films are obtained provided that oligomers have a sufficient mobility on the substrate surface during film formation. One possible way to fulfill such a condition is to evaporate oligomers on heated substrates [1,2]. In this work, we suggest that a high surface mobility is obtained by a chemical functionalization of the silicon dioxide surface, and the corresponding improvements of the TFT performances are evidenced. A self-assembled monolayer of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) was deposited on the SiO2 by chemisorption from solution before the evaporation of sexithiophene film. Room temperature current-voltage measurements indicate that the presence of the OTS monolayer improves TFT performances : threshold voltage is decreased, subthreshold slope is decreased, a high current ratio Ion/Ioff is obtained for a reduced gate voltage excursion, the fieldeffect mobility is slightly increased. We have also fabricated and characterized a nanometer scale organic FET (gate length = 50 nm) made of 6T films and only with a self-assembled monolayer as the insulating film between the degenerated silicon substrate (gate) and the conducting channel (no thick SiO2, we call it « oxide-free » organic FET). Performances of this nanometer size organic FETs are the following : subthreshold slope of 0.35V/dec, threshold voltage of −1.3V, effective mobility of 2×10−4 cm2/V.s.
