Effect of Substrate on The Structure and Charge Transport Property of PTCDA Thin Film
10-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA) thin films were vacuum evaporated on Au
Al and ITO substrates
their structure and morphology were analysed by X-ray spectroscopy (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The results show that most of PTCDA molecules don't lie parallel to the substrate
which indicates that electron transport dominates the current conduction in the direction perpendicular to the film plane. PTCDA films grown on ITO and Au arrange regularly. It shows good electronic transport properties perpendicular to the film plane. But the grains of PTCDA film grown on Al arrange disorderly resulting in poor performance of electronic conduction. By the thermionic emission theory at metal-organic interface and space charge limited current conduction theory in the organic bulk and considering the electric field effect on mobility
current density-voltage curves of ITO/PTCDA/Al devices were fitted in different PTCDA film's thickness. The numerical value of electron mobility dependent on electric field was determined for the specific PTCDA film thickness.
