Abstract

Bottom contact pentacene organic thin-film transistors are fabricated at three different substrate temperatures, $70^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$. The maximum effective mobility was obtained at $80^{\circ}C$. The contact resistance was extracted by applying two different methods, TLM method and channel-resistance method, and the value shows the minimum at $80^{\circ}C$, which is thought to be the important reason for the best performance.
