The Stability

ABSTRACTThe stability of the conductivity of poly(3-alkylthiophenes) has been studied in controlled environmental conditions. High humidity levels at elevated temperatures have been found to strongly influence the dedoping process. Highly FeCl3-doped samples lose their conductivity faster than lightly doped or undoped polymers. The conductivity of undoped poly(3-octylthiophene), however, initially increased by nearly two orders of magnitude as the relative humidity level was raised from 50% to 95% at 70 °C. The largest conductivity decay induced by humidity and heat was observed in thin samples. Measurements of the field-effect mobility reveal that the humidity-induced drop of the conductivity is caused by a decreasing number of active dopants, whereas heating the sample additionally results in a deterioration of the charge carrier mobility.

Abstract Pentacene, an organic molecule, is a promising material for high-performance field effect transistors due to its high charge carrier mobility in comparison to usual semiconductors. However, the charge carrier mobility is strongly dependent on the molecular orientation of pentacene in the active layer of the device, which is hard to investigate using standard techniques in a real device. Raman scattering, on the other hand, is a high-resolution technique that is sensitive to the molecular orientation. In this work, we investigated the orientation distribution of pentacene molecules in actual transistor devices by polarization-dependent Raman spectroscopy and correlated these results with the performance of the device. This study can be utilized to understand the distribution of molecular orientation of pentacene in various electronic devices and thus would help in further improving their performances.

AbstractThe critical factor that limits the efficiencies of organic electronic devices is the low charge carrier mobility which is attributed to disorder in organic films. In this work we study the effects of active film morphology on the charge transport in Organic Field Effect Transistors (OFETs). We fabricated the OFETs using different substrate temperature to grow different morphologies of C60 films by Hot Wall Epitaxy. Atomic Force Microscopy images and XRD results showed increasing grain size with increasing substrate temperature. An increase in field effect mobility was observed for different OFETs with increasing grain size in C60 films. The temperature dependence of charge carrier mobility in these devices followed the empirical relation named as Meyer-Neldel Rule and showed different activation energies for films with different degree of disorder. A shift in characteristic Meyer-Neldel energy was observed with changing C60 morphology which can be considered as an energetic disorder parameter.
