Motivations
  • Microelectronics vs. Macroelectronics
  • Microelectronics try to make smaller transistors
    to reduce cost and boost performance
  • Macroelectronics reduce costs in order build
    ever larger devices, with acceptable performance
  • Thin Film Transistors
  • Active layer is silicon (a-Si) deposited on glass
    .
  • For high mobilities, a-Si can be crystallized
    (p-Si) by laser-pulses at high temperatures.
  • Cant easily use flexible substrates, such as
    plastics
  • Organic Thin Film Transistors
  • Organic semiconductors were discovered in 1987.
  • Organic compounds are a natural match for plastic
    substrates.
  • Use of polymers allows large-areas to be coated
    and patterned without conventional
    photolithography (e.g. spin-coaters and ink-jet
    printers).
  • Organic TFTs may be made large or small (30 nm _at_
    Cornell U.)

OLED Fundamentals
  • In 1987, Tang, et al. published Organic
    electroluminescent diodes.
  • Currently more than 500 U.S. Patents have been
    issued on organic electronics.
  • Challenges
  • Choice of anode for ohmic contact (for low
    voltage devices)
  • Diffusion of In, O into HTL ? HIL interface
    between ITO and HTL
  • Protection from oxygen and water ? encapsulation

OTFT (OFET)
  • Typical OTFT
  • Bottom gate, inverted staggered structure
  • Pentacene (C22H14) active
  • Gate dielectric
  • SiO2
  • PMMA
  • PVP
  • OTFTs operation
  • accumulation
  • depletion
  • Mobilities as high as 1 cm2/Vs has been obtained
    with Ion/Ioff ratio of 108.
  • Very low fabrication temperature (lt60C) allows
    use of cheap plastics.
  • Conventional MOSFET equations are used to model
    OTFTs however, mobility is voltage dependent.
