Organic thin film transistors with PMMA modified insulator

Abstract:

A double insulation layer structure organic thin films transistor (OTFT) was investigated for improving the performance of the SiO2 gate insulator. A 50 nm PMMA layer was coated on top of the SiO2 gate insulator as the organic insulator layer.The results demonstrated that using inorganic/organic compound insulator as the gate dielectric layer is an effective method to fabricate OTFTs with improved electric characteristics and decreased leakage current. Electrical parameters of carrier mobility and on/off ratio were calculated. OTFT based on Si substrate with a field-effect mobility of 4.0 × 10-3cm2/Vs and on/off ratio of 104 was obtained.
