Abstract: | We demonstrate a bilayer passivation method using a Teflon and SiO2 combination layer to improve the electrical reliability of pentacene-based organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). The Teflon was deposited as a buffer layer using a thermal evaporator that exhibited good compatibility with the underlying pentacene channel layer, and can effectively protect the OTFTs from plasma damage during the SiO2 deposition process, resulting in a negligible initial performance drop in OTFTs. Furthermore, because of the excellent moisture barrier ability of SiO2, the OTFTs exhibited good time-dependent electrical performance, even after 168 h of aging in ambient air with 60–80% relative humidity. |
