Systematic comparison of low-voltage organic thin-film transistors based on pentacene, DNTT, C10-DNTT and DPh-DNTT.
Study of morphology, effective and intrinsic mobilities, contact resistance and of the reproducibility of performance parameters.
DPh-DNTT TFTs provide a smaller contact resistance than C10-DNTT and DNTT TFTs.
This results in notably larger effective mobilities, especially in transistors with reduced channel lengths (L).
For L = 1 µm, an on/off ratio of 108, a subthreshold swing of 100 mV/decade and an effective mobility of 0.68 cm2/Vs were measured.
