Improving of The Performance of Organic Thin Film Transistor by Using Bphen Buffer Layer
Organic thin film transistors with different buffer layers were investigated. Electric measurements reveal that 4
7-diphenyl-1
10-phenanthroline is a better buffer layer material than lithium fluoride. In comparison with the device with no buffer layer
the device with 4
7-diphenyl-1
10-phenanthroline (3 nm) buffer layer obtains an enhanced mobility of 0.302 cm

. The improvements of the device performance are attributed to the reduction of barrier height and the contact resistance at Au/pentacene interface.
