Abstract

Pentacene based TFT showed a degraded mobility and saturation current (Ion) after exposure to the high energy ultraviolet (UV). In this article, we optimize the thickness of UV resisted layer on OTFT to restrain the degradation from protect layer deposition and study the UV aging effect of pentacene based TFT. The OTFT deivce with UV resisted layer could keep over 50% mobility after suffered UV $10^3J$.
