Pentacene thin-film transistor with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid)/TiO2 nanocomposite gate insulator
2009
Abstract A poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) (PMMA-co-MAA) and titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) composite was fabricated to use as a gate insulator in pentacene-based organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). The dispersion stability was confirmed by observing the sedimentation time of TiO 2 nanoparticles in the PMMA-co-MAA solution, which is essential to avoid a severe gate-leakage current in OTFTs. From the measured capacitance-frequency characteristics, a dielectric constant value of 4.5 was obtained for the composite film and 3.3 for the PMMA-co-MAA film. Consequently, we could enhance the field-induced current and reduce the threshold voltage of OTFT by adopting the composite insulator, without augmenting the gate-leakage current.
