본 연구에서는 유기박막트랜지스터(OTFT, Organic Thin film Transistor)에 응용을 위해 용액(soluble) 공정을 통하여 제작된 pentacene 박막의 특성을 분석하여 pentacene 박막의 OTFT 소자에 적용 가능성을 조사하였다. Pentacene을 용해시키기 위해 toluene과 chloroform의 두 종류의 용제를 사용하였으며, 이들 용제가 pentacene 박막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Pentacene 용액은 ITO/Glass 기판위에 spin-coating 법으로 유기 반도체 박막을 제작하여 각 박막의 표면형상, 결정화 특성과 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. AFM을 이용한 표면 형상 관찰 결과 chloroform을 이용한 pentacene 박막이 toluene을 이용한 박막에 비하여 표면 거칠기가 개선되는 경향을 보여주었다. XRD 회절 분석 결과 모든 pentacene 박막 시료에서 결정화가 되지 않은 비정질 형태를 보여주었다. Hall effect measurement 분석 결과 chloroform 용제를 이용한 pentacene 박막이 toluene용제를 사용한 시료에 비해 보다 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타내었다. 즉, chloroform에 용해된 pentacene 박막의 경우 전하농도와 이동도는 $-3.225{\times}10^{14}\;cm^{-3}$와 $3.5{\times}10^{-1}\;cm^2\;V^{-1}{\cdot}S^{-1}$를 각각 나타내었다. 또한 비저항은 약 $2.5{\times}10^2\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$를 얻었다.

The structural and the electronic properties of pentacene on modified Si (001) were investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). Dodecane was used to modify Si (001) substrates and then pentacene was deposited on dodecane/Si (001). Our STM results show a uniform distribution of aggregated dodecane molecules all over the clean Si (001). The surface structure of pentacene on dodecaene/Si (001) examined by AFM is analogous to that of pentacene on $SiO_2$. The UPS data showed that the work function of pentacene on clean Si (001) and pentacene on modified Si (001) with dodecane was 6.41 and 5.57 eV, respectively. Our results prove that dodecane results in the work function difference between pentacene on clean Si (001) and pentacene on dodecane/Si (001).

We report investigations on a Pentacene thin film as a component for active layer of Organic thin film transistors. Pentacene film was deposited by Organic Molecular Beam Deposition(OMBD) and Al electrode was deposoted by vacuum evaporation. Electrical characterization of Pentacene films were measured by the three-terminal contact resistance methods, as the results contact resistance between pentacene films and the Aluminium electrode is 5.064G$\Omega$. The Al contact with the pentacene shows the bottom contact resistance. From the current-voltage characteristics, electrical conductivity of the Pentacene film is found as ~ 10$^{-4}$ /cm. physical characterization of pentacene films were measured by UV-spectrum and Cyclic-Voltammetry method.

We analysed interfacial traps in organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) in which pentacene and 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)-pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) organic semiconductors were deposited by means of vacuum-thermal evaporation and drop-coating methods, respectively. The thermally-deposited pentacene film consists of dentritic grains with the average grain size of around 1 m, while plate-like crystals over a few hundred microns are observed in the solution-processed TIPS-pentacene film. From the transfer characteristics of both TFTs, lower subthreshold slope of 1.02 V/decade was obtained in the TIPS-pentacene TFT, compared to that (2.63 V/decade) of the pentacene transistor. The interfacial trap density values calculated from the subthreshold slope are about $3.4{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ and $9.4{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ for the TIPS-pentacene and pentacene TFTs, respectively. Herein, lower subthreshold slope and less interfacial traps in TIPS-pentacene TFTs are attributed to less domain boundaries in the solution-processed TIPS-pentacene film.

Organic thin film transistors with a pentacene active layer and various polymer gate insulators were fabricated and their performances were investigated. Characteristics of pentacene thin film transistors on different polymer substrates were investigated using an atomic force microscope (AFM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The pentacene thin films were deposited by thermal evaporation on the gate insulators of various polymers. Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were fabricated as the gate insulator where a pentacene layer was deposited at 40, 55, 70, 85, 100 oC. Pentacene thin films on PMMA showed the largest grain size and least trap concentration. In addition, pentacene TFTs of top-contact geometry are compared with PMMA and $SiO_2$ as gate insulators, respectively. We also fabricated pentacene TFT with Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Polysturene Sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) electrode by inkjet printing method. The physical and electrical characteristics of each gate insulator were tested and analyzed by AFM and I-V measurement. It was found that the performance of TFT was mainly determined by morphology of pentacene rather than the physical or chemical structure of the polymer gate insulator

Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) have been attracting considerable attention because of their potential use in low-cost, large area, electronic devices such as flexible displays, biochemical sensors, and smart cards. In past several years, gold/pentacene has been frequently used in OTFTs because of the high mobility of pentacene and the high work function of gold. To improve the performance of the OTFTs contact area doping of pentacene with p-doping materials are well known. In this work we demonstrated selectively contact area doping of pentacene with Iodine vapor. For effective doping elevated pentacene layer under the source-drain area was deposited and exposed to Iodine vapor. We got better electrical performance for elevated pentacene structure rather than planer structure with relatively high field-effect mobility.

Pentacene moiety has been widely studied in Organic Thin-Film Transistor (OTFT) device as a channel layer because of high carrier mobility. In this study, we have fabricated vertical type Organic Static Induction Transistors (SITs) using pentacene, 6,13-Dinaphthalen-1-ly-Pentacene (1-DNP, 3), and 6,13-Dinaphthalen-2- ly-Pentacene (2-DNP, 4). 1-DNP and 2-DNP have same naphtyl group with pentacene, but different linked position and spatial arrangement. We have checked the static characteristics of materials in vertical type SITs device. We found that pentacene has as on/off ratio of 14.56, 1-DNP and 2-DNP shows as on/off ratio of 36.58 and 6.61 at VDS = 2V in SIT, respectively.

This paper introduces 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS pentacene) doped liquid crystal (LC) alignment properties on a rubbed polyimide (PI) layer as a function of the doping concentration of TIPS pentacene. Pretilt angles, photomicrographs, and electro-optical properties of TIPS pentacene doped LCs were comparable to those of pure LCs. However, TIPS pentacene in a LC medium supported twisted nematic-liquid crystal displays (TN-LCDs) to improve electro-optical properties. The threshold voltages observed in the TN cells decreased as the TIPS pentacene concentration increased. In addition, suitable response times were observed in TN cells.

Peripheral pentacene region gives a significant influence on C-V characteristics of metal-oxide-pentacene capacitor structure. When the gate voltage goes toward negative, the effect of peripheral pentacene region becomes larger. Remaining gate DC bias constant and changing small signal frequency, the capacitance of peripheral pentacene changes along with frequency so that the total capacitance value also changes. The influence of peripheral pentacene region should be removed to measure accurate C-V characteristics, because it is hard to take into account the effect of the region quantitatively. After removing the influence of peripheral pentacene region, acceptor concentration, flat band voltage and depletion width of pentacene thin film are extracted from an accurate C-V curve as $1.58{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$, -1.54 V and 39.4 nm, respectively.
