Paper Abstract
We used the p-channel pentacene and n-channel PTCDI-C13H27 thin film transistors (OTFTs) to
compose an organic complementary inverter device. In the experiment this device was inserted a
polyimide (PI) layer into the interface of a semiconductor and gate insulator to improve the orientation
phase and decrease the leakage current for n- and p-type OTFTs simultaneously. The hysteresis
behavior of the transistors and inverters exhibited high trapping and detrapping speeds for the traps
between gate dielectric and semiconductor layers; therefore, the PI layer had functions for improving
surface roughness and reducing the hysteresis behavior of gate-dielectrics. The hysteresis of pentacene
and PTCDI-C13H27 films with PI layer was smaller than that without PI obtained by
capacitance-voltage measurements. Therefore, the p-type and n-type OTFTs with PI as modification
layer had high field-effect mobility of 0.976 and 0.512 cm2V-1s-1, on/off ratio of 1.7×105 and 7×104, threshold voltage of -10.76 and 12.21 V, respectively; by contrast, poor performance occurred in the
device without PI layer. Additionally, a good performance for the organic inverter was achieved when
pentacene and PTCDI-C13H27 films grown on the PI layer exhibited the match of surface energy
between the semiconductor and PI and the large grain size. An organic complementary metal oxide
semiconductor (O-CMOS) device had similar drain current, threshold voltage and mobility for n-type
and p-type transistors by using the PI layer as surface modification of the dielectric layer. Compared
with the device without the PI layer, there were higher noise margins and gains and lower power
dissipation of the O-CMOS.
