Contact and channel resistances of organic field-effect transistors based on benzodithiophene-dimer films deposited on pentacene crystallinity control layers Available to Purchase

We have investigated contact and channel resistances of organic field-effect transistors (FETs) based on benzodithiophene (BDT)-dimer films deposited on thin pentacene layers used as crystallinity control layers (CCLs). The contact resistance of source/drain electrodes made of conductive organic films instead of Au films has been reduced for pentacene-CCL/BDT-dimer FETs; the carrier mobility has been improved to $1.2cm2V−1s−1$ at maximum. Because the channel resistance of the pentacene-CCL/BDT-dimer FETs is found to be lower than that of reference pentacene FETs, the carrier transport in the BDT-dimer layers is more important than that in the pentacene CCLs for the high mobility.
