Fabrication of Pentacene Thin Film Transistors and Their Electrical Characteristics

Pentacene 박막트랜지스터의 제조와 전기적 특성

There is currently considerable interest in the applications of conjugated polymers, oligomers and small molecules for thin-film electronic devices. Organic materials have potential advantages to be utilized as semiconductors in field effect transistor and light emitting didoes. In this study, Pentacene thin film transistors(TFTs) were fabricated on glass substrate. Aluminum and Gold wei\ulcorner used fur the gate and source/drain electrodes. Silicon dioxde was deposited as a gate insulator by PECVD and patterned by R.I.E. The semiconductor layer of pentacene was thermally evaporated in vaccum at a pressure of about 10$^{-8}$ Torr and a deposition rate 0.3$\AA$/sec. The fabricated devices exhibited the field-effect mobility as large as 0.07cm$^2$/Vs and on/off current ratio larger than 10$^{7}$
