Self-aligned patterning method of poly(aniline) for organic field-effect transistor gate electrode

We present a new manufacturing method for the bottom-gate type organic field-effect transistor (OFET) having a self-aligned gate electrode based on conducting poly(aniline). This method utilizes the possibility to turn the insulating emeraldine base (PANI-EB) form of poly(aniline) into the conducting emeraldine salt (PANI-ES) form by using UV exposure and photoacid generator (PAG) material. When the source–drain electrodes are used as the mask layer in the UV exposure step an optimal alignment between the gate electrode and source–drain electrodes can be reached, and the parasitic capacitance of the transistor can be minimized. We anticipate that the proposed concept also simplifies the fabrication of the transistors since no additional processing of the photoresist layers is needed to pattern the gate electrode or the gate insulator layer.     

Electrochromic display cells driven by an electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistor

Monolithic integration of an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) and an organic electrochromic display cell operating at around 1 V is reported. This was achieved by utilising a common patterned layer of poly(styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSH). In the OFET, PSSH served as the electric double layer capacitors between the gate and the organic semiconductor channel. In the electrochromic pixel, PSSH was included as the electrolyte and transports protons from and to the electrochromic layer upon switching. The enhancement mode OFET enables a relatively faster updating speed, of the display cell, and provides a much simpler addressing and updating scheme as compared to smart pixels including a depletion mode electrochemical transistor.

Highly Sensitive and Selective Biosensors Based on Organic Transistors Functionalized with Cucurbit[6]uril Derivatives

Biosensors based on a field‐effect transistor platform allow continuous monitoring of biologically active species with high sensitivity due to the amplification capability of detected signals. To date, a large number of sensors for biogenic substances have used high‐cost enzyme immobilization methods. Here, highly sensitive organic field‐effect transistor (OFET)‐based sensors functionalized with synthetic receptors are reported that can selectively detect acetylcholine (ACh⁺), a critical ion related to the delivery of neural stimulation. A cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) derivative, perallyloxyCB[6] ((allyloxy)₁₂CB[6], AOCB[6]), which is soluble in methanol but insoluble in water, has been solution‐deposited as a selective sensing layer onto a water‐stable p‐channel semiconductor, 5,5′‐bis‐(7‐dodecyl‐9H‐fluoren‐2‐yl)‐2,2′‐bithiophene layer. The OFET‐based sensors exhibit a detection limit down to 1 × 10^–12 m of ACh⁺, which is six orders of magnitude lower than that of ion‐selective electrode‐based sensors. Moreover, these OFET‐based sensors show highly selective discrimination of ACh⁺ over choline (Ch⁺). The findings demonstrate a viable method for the fabrication of OFET‐based biosensors with high sensitivity and selectivity, and allow for practical applications of OFETs as high‐performance sensors for biogenic substances.     

Stabilization of space charge polarization in ion-dispersed gate dielectric layer of organic transistors by ultraviolet illumination for write-once read-many memory

In this work, a new type organic field effect transistor (OFET) based write-once read-many memory (WORM) device was developed. The device uses an ultraviolet (UV) cross-linkable matrix polymer mixed with ionic compounds to form an ion-dispersed gate dielectric layer. Under an applied gate voltage bias, migration of cations and anions in opposite directions forms space charge polarization in the gate dielectric layer, resulting in change of the electrical characteristics. It is shown that, with UV illumination to cross-link the matrix polymer, the formed space charge polarization can be stabilized. Therefore, the OFET can be operated as a WORM with the applied voltage bias to define the polarization and in turn the stored data, and the UV illumination to stabilize the stored data.     

The effect of porous structure of PMMA tunneling dielectric layer on the performance of nonvolatile floating-gate organic field-effect transistor memory devices

In this paper, we used the low and high density porous structure of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) film as tunneling dielectric layer in the floating-gate organic field-effect transistor (OFET) memory devices. Compared to the thin/thick nonporous structure of PMMA tunneling layer, the porous structure of PMMA tunneling layer had positive impacts on the device performance of the floating-gate OFET memory devices. Moreover, it was found that the memory performance was also increased as pore density of PMMA film increased. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) results of both porous structure of PMMA film and pentacene film on porous structure of PMMA film revealed that high density porous structure of PMMA tunneling layer can produce larger tunneling area and more electron transfer paths between pentacene film and PMMA film, which resulted in high electron capture and release efficiency of the floating-gate OFET memory devices with porous structure of PMMA tunneling layer. In addition, our porous structure of PMMA tunneling layer as well as nonporous PMMA film has high electrical insulating property due to their semi-hollow structure film, which is favourable to maintain stable retention property. Eventually, the floating-gate OFET memory devices with high density porous structure of PMMA tunneling layer showed good nonvolatile memory properties with a large memory window of about 43 V, a high ON/OFF current ratio of about 10⁴, and stable endurance and retention properties. Our results provided a new strategy to achieve the high performance floating-gate OFET memory devices.

基于插入WO3缓冲层并五苯有机场效应晶体管性能的研究

The pentacene-based organic field effect transistor （OFET） with a thin transition metal oxide （WO3） layer between pentacene and metal （AI） source/drain electrodes was fabricated. Compared with conventional OFET with only metal AI source/drain electrodes, the introduction of the WO3 buffer layer leads to the device performance enhancement. The effective field-effect mobility and threshold voltage are improved to 1.90 em2/（V.s） and 13 V, respectively. The performance improvements are attributed to the decrease of the interface energy barrier and the contact resistance. The results indicate that it is an effective approach to improve the OFET performance by using a WO3 buffer layer.

Self-assembled monolayers for electrode fabrication and efficient threshold voltage control of organic transistors with amorphous semiconductor layer

In this paper we show that thiolated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be used to anchor source–drain gold electrodes on the substrate, leading to excellent electrical performances of the organic field-effect transistor (OFET) on a par with those using a standard electrode process. Using an amorphous semiconductor and a gate dielectric functionalized with SAMs bearing different dipole moments, we demonstrate that we can tune the threshold voltage alone, while keeping nearly unchanged the other electrical properties (hole carrier mobility, I_on/I_off ratio, subthreshold swing). This differs from previous studies for which SAMs functionalization induced significant changes in all the OFET electrical performances. This result opens doors to design organic circuits using reproducible amorphous semiconductor based OFETs for which only the threshold voltage can be tuned on demand.
