Preparation of High-performance Flexible Organic Thin-film Transistor Through Different Dielectric Surface Modification
High-performance pentacene organic thin film transistor (OTFT) on the Poly(4-vinylphenol) (PVP) dielectric layers with different modification layers using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and polystyrene/chlorosilane composite has been developed. The effect of the different modification layers on the growth mode of pentacene films and the performance of the OTFT were investigated. The AFM images showed that the morphology of pentacene semiconductor films were affected by the interface modification. The pentacene grains grown on the HMDS modified PVP substrates were in the range of 400~600 nm which were larger than those grown on the polystyrene/chlorosilane and bare PVP substrates with dimension in the range of 200~400 nm and 150 nm
respectively. Large particle size can reduce charge trapping and improve the electrical performance. The field-effect mobility of the polystyrene/chlorosilane modified PVP and the HMDS modified PVP was 58 times and 82 times higher than the bare PVP layers. The flexible device with HMDS modification had a maximum field-effect mobility of up to 0.338 cm
